My machines are all dual boot. I often find that when switching the
other other OS that running the Auto Adjust helps with lots of little
problems.

First make sure you are running the monitor at the native resolution
of the monitor. If the spec say 1600x1420, or whatever they say, make
sure that's what's in your xorg.config file. In general I've found
that doing that makes things readable enough for me, although if you
are running a 5x7 font on a 1600 pixel monitor they do get very small.
