You can scroll the screen up with the key-combo <right shift - PageUp>.

You should really use SaX2, it's a program to configure youre graphics 
card, monitor and mouse. If you can login into the console as root, 
then type (after the login) "sax2" (without the"), press "enter".
Of course you should know the capabilities of your card (chipset, Ram) 
and your monitor (frequencies, highest possible resolution). For this, 
you should consult the manuals of your equipment. But then it isnt 
really complicated, not much more than to install a driver in windows.

regards, Jens
