  • CCmachine that is true

  • I would love to see that

    video on how to enable it on compiz.

    since i need compiz for the zooming in and out.

    And with out that my netbook would

    be to small to see anything on

  • Thank you so much! I really like ubuntu but was considering installing it because of this little problem but now I don't have to and can continue using ubuntu with ease.

  • Wouldn't Ubuntu Netbook Remix also fix the sizing...? since it is made for netbooks and small displays...

  • Sure. :)

  • This info was very helpful. Are you gonna do the tech tip for enabling the alt+drag in compiz?

  • You saved my life shawn. i almost uninstalled ubuntu off of my eee pc. thanks!

  • Great tip. Thanks!

  • ditto that!

  • Alt dragging works, but you can't drag a window above the top of the screen. Which... stinks on small screens. :)
