Well, if you want to shrink your screen's resolution (i.e. make everything larger), that shouldn't require too much work. Try using a standard resolution such as 800x600, or 640x480 if you really want the picture big. You should be able to set the desired resolution in the /etc/X11/xorg.conf. If you don't know how to edit it, post it here and someone will explain it.

He should be able to adjust the screen resolution using KDE system administration or user preferences tools.

Eh! My bad, I forget that there's a GUI way of doing things after working in the command line interface for so long.
