I don't know how some y'all are comin up with very high dpi
numbers... xdpyinfo:
screen #0:
dimensions: 1280x1024 pixels (382x313 millimeters)
resolution: 85x83 dots per inch
If I do the Gimp calibration I come up with about 87 dpi. I
measured the viewing area with a measuring tape an it was as
'xdpyinfo' reported, 382x313 mm. Maybe your 191T is a little
better than my 191N .... but that much !?
I don't have any font issues at 85x83. I also just use the
fonts that come with the Mandrake distro. Usually Luxi Sans and
Courier 10 Pitch.
As to the 'Auto' button, it's not an issue for me ... no Winsux
on the system. IIRC tho, the (old) fix was to run 'xvidtune' and
use the modeline it suggests to put in yourXFree config file. I
always thought it'd be simpler to use the 'Auto' button. Why
trash Linux to be as screwed up as Winblows?
