  You can't scroll setup menus.  There are a couple of other options...

1) Enable a 2nd, higher, resolution in xorg.conf, and {CTRL-ALT-GREYPLUS}
when you need a "zoomed out view", then toggle back to your regular
resolution when finished.

2) Use a "viewport" that is your screen size, and use a larger "virtual
desktop".  Trying to move your your cursor past the edge of the screen
will scroll through the virtual desktop, which is about as close as you
can get to what you originally asked for.  It can be a pain, however, if
you have multiple desktops.
