------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2003-02-07 23:25 ------- Thanks for comment #3. I did figure that out for Gnome, but it doesn't work for KDE. Also, there are 2 settings that both need changing for KDE happiness. Of course, an advanced user won't use the Mandrake GUI tools, but an new-to-intermediate user will want to - and won't know where else to look. It took me about 5 hours with google to find both parts of the answer above(!)

Otherwise, on a screen such as 15" LCD, at 1600x1200, all the fonts are tiny. The following settings are needed: 1)Measure the display size with a ruler 2)Add to XF86Config-4 the line: DisplaySize 304 228 (x,y in mm) 3)Find the DPI using xdpyinfo | grep resolution 4)Change the line in /etc/X11/Xresources to: Xft.dpi: 133 (result of step 3). 5)Restart X and xfs Please do add a wizard to do this, or alternatively, mention the possibility in the documentation...
