The program i used to see what dpi i was at was xdpyinfo. the fonts may have been at a correct resolution, but since the display wasn't it looked all sorts of messed up. The problem here isn't with end user apps. Something was not being detected or set up right in the server. _______________________________________________ Xpert mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xpert
