Yesterday a strange thing happened to me. When I booted my 520ST, only
a quarter of the whole screen was used. I got a mini desktop in the top left
quarter of the screen with the samll font being used for the menus and other
text, but the standard size desktop icons. Everything seemed to be working
fine, I could open and move windows, the TOS copyright box centered
correctly within that small portion of the screen. Scrollbars and close
boxes were drawn correctly, but they were thinner/smaller due to the smaller
font being used. When I rebooted, everything was back to normal.

Now I wonder what is necessary in order to make the desktop come up using
that small font but the whole screen. Is this possible at all? Has anyone
seen something similar?
