On my Dell Inspiron laptop, hitting Fn-F7 will toggle how the LCD
displays lower-than-native resolution screens. One way it blows up the
display to fill the whole screen; the other way, it displays
the console (or whatever lower-resolution thing is displaying) tiny
and centered.
I'm probably saying that badly, but anyway if you're using a Dell,
that's probably your problem.
