Broken Laptop Screen

I own a laptop with the lower part of the screen broken (200 pixels aproximately). Could it be possible to configure KDE (or maybe X) to lower it´s default resolution from 1024x768 to 1024x568 (or something similar)?.
The distro is Knnopix 3.3 (Quantian)

Even if you lower the resolution it will resize the desktop to fill out the whole laptop screen, so I don't see how that would help.

What I guess you're fetching for is to lower the resolution without resizing it to fill out the sreen, and then move it up so it lays above the damaged area. I don't think you can do that.

Just a silly question: cant you decrease the # of "display" lines with increasing the vsync time in parallel to keep the sum of both constant but "making a smaller vertical visible part of the screen". Should take some calculations but perhaps works?

Thank you for your help. I am working on it.

Someone told about xfce who has the abbility to reduce it´s screen size.
To reduce the size of the text terminal I have been recommended the framebuffer driver. Have you ever used it?
