See man XF86Config. In the monitor section there is a "Display Size" option where you can set the size of your monitor in millimeters. That info should be available from the monitor users' manual or website, or the linux monitor database. I believe a standard 19" monitor (crt) is 363x272 mm There is another way... You can pass the resolution to X when you start the server. (Someone please check my syntax) $ startx --dpi -75 The # (75 in this case) can be any sane #. I favor between 100 and 120. (I'm currently 112 at 1600x1200 res and 14pt impact fonts are fine for my old eyes) -- Regards, Ernie 100% Microsoft and Intel free -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
