Re: screen font size
YOu X-Windowing installation is *not* right. Update your XFree86 to the latest available (via packages), not you might need to download and upgrade your FreeBSD 4.5 to 4.8-RELEASE or 4.9-PRERELEASE, this should give much up to date video card drivers, then you run XFree86 -configure and follow instructions (hopefully in your book) from there.

The strange part of this problem is that during the install process, program option screens are the correct size and font. Any advice to get me going will be appreciated. C. W.

Re: screen font size
Try to check the resolutions set in /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 (or similar) manually (using a text editor) Are they right? Peschmä Am Thu, 09 Oct 2003 10:28:03 -0500 schrieb C. W.

I suspect that your desktop resolution is set to something high like 1280 x 1040 but your viewport is set to 640 x 480. Refer to your XF86Config file and the man page (man XF86Config). Pay attention to the 'Virtual' and 'ViewPort' settings.
