Your basic problem is something causing bad DPI values. That's highly likely in part due to lack of EDID and DDC in your old Viewsonic, but it's coupled with the age of your i845G, and the buggy Xorg and video drivers in 10.3. Because your screen, regardless of any traditional resolution you choose other than 1280x1024, is 4:3, both reported DPI numbers should either match exactly, or differ by no more than 2. Note that currently there's more than one basis and report of DPI. Ultimately, all need to match for everything in X to work right. https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-users/2007-October/126426.html
First try following the instructions here: http://www.suse.com/relnotes/i386/openSUSE/10.3/RELEASE-NOTES.en.html#13 If that doesn't do it, first check for a motherboard BIOS upgrade (as it includes your video BIOS), as that helped on my i854G box. Likely that won't help, but it might. If not, then read this: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=331609 . If you can't figure out what to do from that, take a further look at DPI generally starting with the links at http://mrmazda.no-ip.com/auth/Font/fonts-linux-about.html , then report back with the content of /etc/X11/xorg.conf and /var/log/Xorg.0.log for further help. -- "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God."
