Greetings,
I have a question regarding something quite mysterious, and I wonder
if anyone out there can help me to understand what is going on here.
I have been using Mdk Linux for several months now, and I have always
had it configured to boot into X at start...a runlevel 5. Well, just
today I thought I would change that and set it to start a runlevel 3.
I am not quite so afraid of the cl now as I once was. :-)
Anyway, what I have noted is that if I start x with the command
"Xtart", and then choose my default KDE, when KDE starts I
get a black screen with the KDE3 graphic centered and then my
familiar KDE desktop. What is different though is my fonts. They are
very nice and crisp, and the same typeface as previous...except
smaller.
If I start x with the command "startx", when KDE starts I
get the familiar blue default background with the KDE3 graphic
centered, and once more my familiar KDE desktop. This time however my
fonts are larger. What is causing this?
I actually increased the size of the fonts after the first start
using "Xtart".
Is this being caused by differing screen refresh rates, or what?
Where can I look to find my current refresh rate?
(etc/X11/XF86Config-4 I can't fathom)
I would truly appreciate any insight into this differing behaviour
from "Xtart" to "startx".
TIA. Best regards.
