The X Windows server can be setup with different screen resolutions. The ability to adjust the screen's resolution allows a partially sighted user to magnify the screen with a single key sequence. The steps to set up your system are as follows:


Changed directories, type cd /etc

Using a text editor, open the XF86Config file

Locate the line beginning with Modes and change it to Modes "1280x1024" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480" "320x240"

Note: The settings may vary based your monitor's highest resolution mode.

Save the file and exit.

To enlarge the text on the screen type Ctrl+Alt+keypad-plus and to make the text smaller type Ctrl+Alt+keypad-minus
