Re: Re: 100dpi vs. 75dpi fonts in X

that requires the display dimension be stored in the hardware. Lei -dpi 100 in Xservers is purely arbitrary, intended for the old xfs system, not for moderm fontconfig apps.

start X client after su/sudo by default a good policy? I just feel it is a bit funny, root can do anything, it just can't open a damn window. Maybe I really need to dig into xauth manual for an answer. Lei Or you can try sux # apt-cache show sux Package: sux Priority: optional Section: admin
