[opensuse] Smart developers Way OT
Hello SuSE people, Way OT, but maybe you can help me anyway. You see, I am sight impaired and I need pretty large fonts and/or icons. Does anybody know who the smart developers are and how they can be reached. I would like to suggest that they have a way to change the fonts/icons to larger sizes or even alter some config file to do it myself. Have the same problem withsome other non-kde stuff also. Please don't suggest the accessability thing. That is a horror to use.

What I do when the eyes are tired and I need a serious font/icon size distortion is to use the ctrl+alt+[+] key to bump the screen resolution--- sometimes even to 800x600 or 640x480 and with a virtual window of 1024x768 or higher. Then I use the mouse to move the window... and I have "giant" fonts/icons in every application across the board. And since I went to the SyncMaster 226BW wide flat-panel the eyes are strained no longer.
Yes, I agree... the accessability "thing" as you call it leaves much to be desired. -- Kind regards, M Harris <>< -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Thanks Stan, But the ctrl+alt++ doesn't seem to work in my 10.2. It used to work back several releases ago, but it hasn't worked since at least 10.0 Kai, Thanks for the suggestion but that list is completely useless. I've asked several times on that list and have never received a reply. Seems nobody uses it.

The fact that you cant change th eresolution is probably due cause the relevant entry is missing in your xorg config file. I noticed that my older systems (9.1, 9.3) has several choices by default. My 10.1 only had a few. If you add the relevant resolutions manually, you ought to get the feature back... This is a snippet from my own file: Section "Screen" Identifier "Screen 1" Device "Matrox 1" Monitor "Belinea 106030" DefaultDepth 16 Subsection "Display" Depth 16 Modes "1280x1024" <----- this is where you add resolutions ViewPort 0 0 EndSubsection EndSection You MIGHT need corresponding modelines too, i am not entirely sure about that though... -- /Rikard ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- email : rikard.j@rikjoh.com web : http://www.rikjoh.com mob: : +46 (0)763 19 76 25 ------------------------ Public PGP fingerprint ---------------------------- < 15 28 DF 78 67 98 B2 16 1F D3 FD C5 59 D4 B6 78 46 1C EE 56 >

You MIGHT need corresponding modelines too, i am not entirely sure about that though...
Thanks for replying Rikard, Wow, my xorg.config file looks completely different from yours. I'm running 10.2, Here is my "screen" section. The monitor and modes section are just above this. Section "Screen" DefaultDepth 24 SubSection "Display" Depth 15 Modes "1600x1200" EndSubSection SubSection "Display" Depth 16 Modes "1600x1200" EndSubSection SubSection "Display" Depth 24 Modes "1600x1200" EndSubSection SubSection "Display" Depth 8 Modes "1600x1200" EndSubSection Device "Device[0]" Identifier "Screen[0]" Monitor "Monitor[0]" EndSection I suppose I could try adding on to each of these Modes sections. Do the quotes go around each of the resolutions individually? Thanks Bob S. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Modify the modes lines above to read: Modes "1600x1200" "1400x1050" "1280x1024" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480" -- Rafael -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Hi Bob, besides Ctrl-Alt-Plus (I use one on numeric keyboard) to change resolution there is Ctrl-Plus to increase font sizes in browsers. -- Regards, Rajko. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Thanks Rajko. Browsers not a problem. I use Ctrl and scrollwheel on mouse. Bob S -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
