We started with 4 monitors; two show tiny fonts, two show sort of normal sized fonts.
In rc.setupx We inserted Option NoDDC Option NoDDC1 Option NoDDC2 in the Device section. Now we know why some monitors have tiny fonts. The hardware that does not send out a DDC signal is going to have tiny fonts. Doing this set all monitors to have tiny fonts. Now, everything is on the same playing field. In the same file, we specified (this is the real key) DisplaySize 271 203 in the Monitor section. Here's the math for DisplaySize, which has to be in millimeters. 1024 / 96dpi * 25.4 mm/inch = 271 768 / 96 * 25.4 = 203 Voila! all the monitors that we looked at are what we want. We then removed the three NoDDC entries and did not see a change. This suggests that DisplaySize overrides whatever DDC reports. xdpyinfo reports dimensions: 273x203 millimeters resolution: 95x96 Not sure why these are slightly off. dennis - have gudulka, will travel http://KafanaKlub.com balkanalia! 12 Aug - 15 Aug 2004 Camp Angelos (near PDX) ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: Oracle 10g Get certified on the hottest thing ever to hit the market...
