Hi, Great that it now works at last.
However it should not require changes in xorg.conf: xsession on startup calls xset +fp that adds required entries automatically, probably it fails for some reason and there should be error messages in .dt/errorlog. Regarding saving using dtstyle: It should work. But one needs to remember that it saves changes into current session only, which in its turn must be saved. Saving of session happens automatically on logout if "dtstyle/startup/at login/resume home session" is selected or it needs to be saved explicitly using the "dtstyle/startup/set home session" button if "dtstyle/startup/at login/return to home session" option is selected. Regarding the xfontscale problem I've opened bug at freedesktop.org: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=94111 Regards, Eugene On Fri, 12 Feb 2016 17:47:45 +0200 Antonis Tsolomitis <antonis.tsolomi...@gmail.com> wrote: > > > Yes this is it!
