Hopefully there is a positive answer to this question:

I have a 15.4" laptop with native screen resolution of 1920x1200. You can imagine that everything is completely unreadable by default. If I increase the font size it becomes readable, but ugly.

Is it possible to set the "real" resolution to 1920x1200 so it plays nice with the monitor, but set some "virtual" resolution of 1440x900 so that everything starts looking nice.

Note: If I just change the resolution to 1440x900 everything becomes blurry, since this is not the monitor's default resolution.

I know that having a small monitor with high resolution is not very optimal - not my choice.

(Using nvidia GF8400M)
