Thanks, but that didn't do it either. startx failed 4 0r 5 times in a row. and for some reason, the alias I set for "startx -- -dpi 96" disappeared.Wierd as hell huh? well I removed your line, remade the alias and I'm back to 96x96 resolution. -- Regards, Ernie 100% Microsoft and Intel free -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
