Interesting, I hadn't noticed the 4x3mm problem. I'm sure you're right that this is causing the huge font.
I'm afraid the xorg.conf isn't very exciting - nothing more than the defaults from the Xubuntu Live CD. I will attach it anyway. Meanwhile, here is the more complete EDID info:- get-edid: get-edid version 1.4.1 Performing real mode VBE call Interrupt 0x10 ax=0x4f00 bx=0x0 cx=0x0 Function supported Call successful VBE version 300 VBE string at 0x11110 "Intel(r)845G/845GL/845GE/845GV Graphics Chip Accelerated VGA BIOS" VBE/DDC service about to be called Report DDC capabilities Performing real mode VBE call Interrupt 0x10 ax=0x4f15 bx=0x0 cx=0x0 Function supported Call successful Monitor and video card combination does not support DDC1 transfers Monitor and video card combination supports DDC2 transfers 0 seconds per 128 byte EDID block transfer Screen is not blanked during DDC transfer Reading next EDID block VBE/DDC service about to be called Read EDID Performing real mode VBE call Interrupt 0x10 ax=0x4f15 bx=0x1 cx=0x0 Function supported Call successful 00000000 00 ff ff ff ff ff ff 00 3c a3 db 17 ** ** ** ** |........<.......| 00000010 2a 07 01 00 0c 20 18 00 68 06 92 a0 57 4f 97 26 |*.... ..h...WO.&| 00000020 10 48 4f ff fe 80 31 59 31 68 31 7c 45 59 45 68 |.HO...1Y1h1|EYEh| 00000030 61 59 71 4a 81 40 d5 09 80 a0 20 5e 63 10 10 60 |ay...@.... ^c..`| 00000040 52 08 04 03 00 08 06 18 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 |R...............| 00000050 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 |................| * 00000070 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 44 |...............D| 00000080 I found an EDID format description here:- http://faydoc.tripod.com/structures/01/0127.htm I haven't tried to decipher the whole thing but the dimensions of 320x240mm are exactly as reported in the Xorg.0.log. The Modelines in the log look good but maybe the "fuzzy aspect match" is misbehaving(?) (II) intel(0): Using fuzzy aspect match for initial modes (II) intel(0): Output VGA using initial mode 1400x1050 Between the correct probing of screen dimensions and the PIPEASTAT warning, three modules are loaded: fb, exa and ramdac, but ramdac is built-in so that narrows it down to two. Thanks again for looking at this. If you decide it's not worth fixing I won't complain. :) You'll notice I removed the serial# from the EDID, in case I should get a sudden urge to abandon this lumpy CRT by an interstate highway or launch it from a high window.
