------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2003-02-07 18:05 ------- By the way, you can in fact adjust the dpi - which is the important setting, screen size simply lets you calculate it - from a GUI tool, namely, the GNOME font preferences dialog. I think it may well be in the KDE one as well. -- Configure bugmail: http://qa.mandrakesoft.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is. ------- Reminder: ------- assigned_to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] status: UNCONFIRMED creation_date: description: Drakconf should allow you to set the physical size of the display, as well as the resolution. Otherwise, on a screen such as 15" LCD, at 1600x1200, all the fonts are tiny. The following settings are needed: 1)Measure the display size with a ruler 2)Add to XF86Config-4 the line: DisplaySize 304 228 (x,y in mm) 3)Find the DPI using xdpyinfo | grep resolution 4)Change the line in /etc/X11/Xresources to: Xft.dpi: 133 (result of step 3). 5)Restart X and xfs Please do add a wizard to do this, or alternatively, mention the possibility in the documentation...
