I find the fonts seem larger than on the equivalent MS Windows setting,
so set my FC resolution one higher. If your monitor will not do 1152*864
then the error message is preventing possible damage to the monitor.

You could try altering the font sizes with Start -> Preferences -> Font
and see if that is better for you.
