I accidentally set the scaling settings at 4, and couldn't reset them. Is there any way to reset these settings back to default? I'm running a Microsoft Surface Pro (10.6", 1920x1080), and I cannot see the slider. I have tried all the ways people posted and this hasn't worked. Using Pre-Ubuntu 14.04 Final Beta (Beta 1). So i am editing this post and hopes a moderator will unlock it because none of the answers work for me.

  • I cannot see the slider at all. I'm running on a 1920x1080, 10.6" display – wolfy1339 Apr 02 '14 at 17:25

If you can couple a keyboard to it, you should realize that pressing the alt key and then dragging the window will actually relocate the the window even beyond the borders of the screen. Which means that you should be able to push the "displays" window upwards so that the slider comes on the screen. Then you can adjust it back to normal. Kudos to using Ubuntu on MS-surface pro.
