I tried Option "DisplaySize" "340 270" It doesnt seem to do anything for the nvidia driver: '(WW) NVIDIA(0): Option "DisplaySize" is not used' and with the nv driver the only thing different is i get two small and funky mouse cursors :-) xdpyinfo gives: screen #0: dimensions: 1280x1024 pixels (342x271 millimeters) resolution: 95x96 dots per inch depths (7): 24, 1, 4, 8, 15, 16, 32 and... screen #0: dimensions: 800x600 pixels (344x272 millimeters) resolution: 59x56 dots per inch depths (7): 24, 1, 4, 8, 15, 16, 32 So i guess i just have to figure out how to get 95x96 dots per inch in 800x600. thx, sa _______________________________________________ Render mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/render
