have a look at https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9758 or put xrandr --dpi 96 in .xinitrc or pass *-dpi 96 *directly to the xserver for more info have a look at http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Xorg#Display_Size.2FDPI it does sound like the server is misinterpreting the ddc information it receives from your monitor, hence the weird screen size earlier , seem to recall some like this on the xorg list about six months ago, but my memory might be faulty hope that helps martin -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
