Re: [gentoo-user] After attempting fb'ing with nvidia, xfce fonts are tiny.

I *could* simply increase the font size in all affected apps but I shouldnt have to do that. It is your Terminal font setting in the Gnome font preferences. You can change it with 'gnome-font-properties'. Others have suggested expliciting setting the dpi in xorg.conf but again, I never had to do that before so why now? Right now its 75x75 dpi. I have no idea what it was before this font issue. How are you starting xfce? The xfce startup scripts should override the default dpi setting with 96 dpi. If it doesn't you could try that value in xorg.conf HTH -- T.G. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

I have no idea what it was before this font issue. And does this work for you? Or do you still have issues with fonts? FYI, one reason you might have to do this is because you have a high resolution display, and if X can read the actual dimensions of your display, it will calculate the horizontal and vertical DPI. I'm not sure what combinations of kernel and X.org configuration options are required for this though. You can also get the same effect from setting DisplaySize in xorg.conf. In any case, you can check the DPI that X is using, and how it arrived at that value, by checking /var/log/Xorg.0.log. -Richard -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Tried various grub lines at various res's, got nothing but distorted console fonts (started 1/3 way over on screen w/ wrap around plus a duplication on the line at the start, only the very top line of the screen displayed correctly). Tried rivafb, not compatable with nvidia driver, tried nvidiafb, no luck. Nvidia driver wouldnt even load in any configuration i tried. Sorry for the multiple replies, but did you happen to try the vbemode/nocrtc options with vesafb-tng? See /usr/src/linux/Documentation/fb/vesafb.txt. My native resolution is 1680x1050 (17 wsxga LCD). I'm using nvidia 7667 w/ fast write, side buffering and 8x agp enabled (not the most stable i know, but has not been problematic). Does anything change if you disable these things??? -Richard -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
