Well I don't think this is the same issue. I too am running KDE, but I think something is happening at a lower level. It's like the resolution is just completely wrong, or maybe the vertical sync and refresh rates. On a similar note to your font issue, with the 7xxx drivers when I was in TwinView the DPI would be entirely too small and I never found a way around that, however in the 8xxx drivers I can use the option 'Option "UseEdidDpi" "DFP-0"' and X will use the Dpi of my laptop monitor instead of calculating it based on the entire desktop size. I wonder if nvidia has changed something in the way they calculate the dpi that might be causing your problem. > Also, this is something of a driver-specific problem.

Some of the 6xxx drivers had a similar problem, but I was able to solve this by using turning off softEdids I believe. Something I found on the list a while back. It's just odd that it has resurfaced in the 8xxx drivers. Thanks for the input, I'll just have to keep trying. > > -- Sloan Poe <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> _______________________________________________ LinuxR3000 mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pcxperience.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/linuxr3000 Wiki at http://prinsig.se/weekee/
