in KDE3.3 the dpi value was mentioned in
/opt/kde3/share/config/kdm/Xservers
for exapmle for my TFT as
:0 local@tty1 /usr/X11R6/bin/X -nolisten tcp -br vt7 -dpi 97
but Xservers does not exist any more in KDE3.4
can anyone give me a hint where to find/write the new dpi values?
OK, so i got these 2 answers: (TANKS to Matthias Wieser and Leendert Meyer)
/etc/opt/kde3/share/config/kdm/Xservers is a link to /etc/X11/xdm/Xservers Same dir as yours, but just with '/etc' prepended ;P
The right place to define the dpi value is /etc/X11/xorg.conf! "[...] Section "Monitor" [...] DisplaySize 286 216 (for example) [...]
This is *the* way to set the display size, but only if it is not detected (properly) by X. So backup /etc/X11/xorg.conf, and set your value (measure your screen or use the values in the monitor's manual). FWIW, I did this too. AFAIK, it is a way to override what X has found (I'm not completely sure about this - please comment). Cheers, Leen
