Micheal uses a faked DisplaySize entry as 326x260 mm is definately not the size of his monitor but the ratio of 1280 to 1024. I would suggest you use a resulution with a ratio of 4 to 3 (i.e 1280x960) and generate a ModeLine for yourself. you can find a modeline genarator here: http://koala.ilog.fr/cgi-bin/nph-colas-modelines the size of your monitor is normally recognized without an DisplaySize entry, you can look for in /var/log/XFree86.0.log auge [auge@seth auge]$ egrep -i size /var/log/XFree86.0.log (II) NV(0): Max H-Image Size [cm]: horiz.: 31 vert.: 23 (II) NV(0): #0: hsize: 640 vsize 480 refresh: 85 vid: 22833 (II) NV(0): #1: hsize: 640 vsize 480 refresh: 120 vid: 31793(II) NV(0): #2: hsize: 800 vsize 600 refresh: 85 vid: 22853(II) NV(0): #3: hsize: 1024 vsize 768 refresh: 85 vid: 22881(II) NV(0): #4: hsize: 1024 vsize 768 refresh: 100 vid: 26721(II) NV(0): #5: hsize: 1152 vsize 864 refresh: 75 vid: 20337(II) NV(0): #6: hsize: 1152 vsize 864 refresh: 85 vid: 22897(II) NV(0): #7: hsize: 1600 vsize 1200 refresh: 75 vid: 20393(II) NV(0): clock: 157.5 MHz Image Size: 312 x 234 mm(--) NV(0): Virtual size is 1024x768 (pitch 1024) as you see 312/234 is ratio of 4/3 BTW, what DPI settings do you have?
