Re: [gentoo-user] Very small fonts after re-emerging xorg-x11
After re-emerging that, I restarted xdm/kdm and when I logged in I found all fonts to be quite smaller... to the level of thinking I had a bigger resolution :P (I use 1024x768 maximum). Any idea? What information can I provide? Hi, I used to have the same problems every time I upgraded xorg until I found information about passing the screen dimensions in the xorg.conf file so the server can determine (calculate) the DPI. Basically, you can provide the screen dimensions in millimiters in the following manner: Section Monitor Identifier CRT-2 VendorName Sony ModelName CDP-G400 DisplaySize 355 264 EndSection This way you'll get a consistent DPI for your display even after upgrading xorg. Another way of achieving this is, if you do not boot right into KDM/XDM, you log into the console and pass a DPI value when starting xorg: startx -- -layout Your server layout of choice -dpi 96 As you can see, in the example I am forcing a DPI of 96. Hope this helps. - AR -- If you stare long enough into an abyss, the abyss will stare back into you... -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

I have something like this: Section Device Identifier Card00 Driver nv BusID PCI:1:0:0 Screen 0 Option DPI 100 x 100 # this is place to play! EndSection === On Wednesday 28 June 2006 18:53, A.

Are you sure about this? DPI is not a standard option for the Device section, and doesn't appear in the nv man page. It is valid for the nvidia driver, but I think if you check /var/log/Xorg.0.log, you will find that this is generating an error message with the nv driver... -Richard -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Richard, You are right, this is my mistake - the Option is nvidia driver trace :-) There *is* a string: (WW) NV(0): Option DPI is not used Andrew === On Wednesday 28 June 2006 20:33, Richard Fish wrote: === On 6/28/06, Andrew Gaydenko [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I have something like this: Section Device Identifier Card00 Driver nv BusID PCI:1:0:0 Screen 0 Option DPI 100 x 100 # this is place to play!
