I also have a T30 with the hi-res display. I think it's great! But I can believe that the fonts may be kinda small at that resolution. I like them for most things, but I often increase my XEmacs font size to 14 to make it easier to read. I think that's the only solution, really. Most X apps allow you to choose fonts, including the gnome terminal. select a font you like. The one place you might be struck is the web browser. Some pages built with FrontPage have a problem with the fonts displayed by any browser other than Explorer. This is actually a Microsoft bug in FP that is fixed by a deliberate "fix" in Explorer. But other browsers follow proper HTML and display itsy-bitsy fonts. There is no fix for this. One work-around would be to define several display modes in your XF86Config file. I define 1400x1050, 1280x1024, 1024x768, and 800x600. You can switch "on the fly" by typing <CTRL-ALT-KP+> or <CTRL-ALT-KP->. This is complicated a bit on a laptop in that you don't have a keypad. You need to enable NumLock to place the <KP+> on the '?' key and the <KP-> is on the ';' key. NumLock is usually activated on the T30 with <Shift-ScrLk>, but I found my default X keymap did not allow this, so I had to enter the command: xmodmap -e "keycode 78 = Scroll_Lock NumLock" to set it up to match the markings.
