I purchased a 17" monitor with 1280X1024 resolution.  That resolution 
makes my text and pictures to small.  I need to run 1024X768.  However 
1024X768 doesn't look very good.  The detail is not sharp.  Is ther 
anyway to decrease the viewed resolution without reducing the video 
cards resolution?  I'm having a tough time explaining this so if you 
don't understand and maybe I can answer some questions.  Thanks for your 
time.

Have you tried adjusting the refresh rate at the resolution that you would like
to use?

Well ... it's probably not quite what you mean, but you can set up X so the 
physical display is a window into a larger, virtual display ... so you can 
see (as an example) a 640x480 area of a 1280X1024 display. Exactly how you 
do it depends on how your distro installs X, but usually this option gets 
offered as part of a configuration dialog.

You would probably do better, though, to figure out why 1024x768 is 
unsatisfactory. With no information provided about the underlying hardware, 
it's hard even to ask meaningful questions beyond the obvious ones -- what 
video card, what physical display, what version of X, what X server, what 
Linux distro?

The other suggestion someone made, to fiddlg with the refresh rate, might 
be a good one ... but the problem description is so vague that it's hard to 
know.

To put it simple, I want larger text and pictures keeping the lcd monitor
resolution at 1280X1024.  I want a 1024X768 picture using a 1280X1024 screen
resolution.  My monitor is a 17" Samsung lcd. Thanks for your time.

You need to enlarge your fonts.

Cant say how because you dont say what you use.

In KDE use control center select Apierance and theams <fonts>

For a terminal under X you can simply click "settings" and go from there.

Linux is "very" versitile".

Is this a TFT monitor, by any chance?  Those will often have 1280x1024
physical picture elements, and so if you want to run the monitor at
anything other than its native resolution, it has to do a somewhat
convoluted image resizing process.  On many older TFTs, this looked
rather odd, and even on newer ones it's usually visible.

(On a CRT, the monitor electronics can essentially ignore the physical
phosphor clusters, and pretend it has continuous emitter elements.
The aperture grill/shadow mask/etc. then makes sure electrons don't
leak to the wrong colour dots.  In effect, the physical pattern of
shadows and phosphers handles the pixel blending automatically.)

Not to the best of my knowledge.  Your best bet is probably to just
scale the text up a bit: most programs accept arguments of the form
``-fs <size>'' to set the font size to <size> points (so, for
instance, ``xterm -fs 20''), or have a suitable configuration dialog
somewhere.

You could also try xmag, which is usually included with the standard
XFree86 clients package.
