I've seen log outputs in cm or mm before. It should be available from the dpms info, but I think you can also force it in the config file. The more accurate information the X server has, the better display quality you should get w/regards to correct font sizing. If your dpms is wrong/buggy, then forcing it would be the best option IMO. (realize, that your monitor's dpi should change with your resolution setting) A 19" monitor at 1900 pixels should be around 125 dpi in the X direction. A 17" monitor at 1900 pixels should be around 139. 147 does seem a bit high--it'd be great to have a monitor with that kind of precision. -- Respectfully, Nicholas Leippe Sales Team Automation, LLC 1335 West 1650 North, Suite C Springville, UT 84663 +1 801.853.4090 http://www.salesteamautomation.com .===================================. | This has been a P.L.U.G. mailing. | | Don't Fear the Penguin. | | IRC: #utah at irc.freenode.net | `==================================='
