Presumably the physical dimensions of your server connected monitor are similar to those of the clients. To change the default dpi, one can swap the order of the 75 dpi dir with the 100 dpi fonts path in the XF86Config file. There is some info on this subject to found in the "XWindow-User-HOWTO" which you should be able to find on http://www.tldp.org. ---------------------------------------------------------------- John Karns [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.NET email is sponsored by: SourceForge Enterprise Edition + IBM + LinuxWorld = Something 2 See! http://www.vasoftware.com _____________________________________________________________________ Ltsp-discuss mailing list.
