[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ xdpyinfo | grep dots resolution: 125x125 dots per inch It is not obvious to me why the fonts should be rendered so differently. Should I try higher or lower dpi? The xorg version that comes with lenny does not require font specifications in xorg.conf. I am not too sure about how to change dpi. I read somewhere that I could give an additional argument in gdmsetup to do it.
