Does anyone know how to do this on the GNOME side?

Adam, I got this answer from another list, and have not tried it with SUSE. So I don't know if it works! 1) Make a copy of /etc/X11/xorg.conf file, just in case of problems. 2) Load the xorg.cong file into a text editor and find the "Monitor" section. 3) Add the following lines before EndSection: # DisplaySize 270 203 #1024x768 96dpi # DisplaySize 338 254 #1280x960 96dpi # DisplaySize 338 270 #1280x1024 96dpi # DisplaySize 370 277 #1400x1050 96dpi # DisplaySize 423 370 #1600x1400 96dpi 4) Uncomment the line corresponding to your resolution. To get other values, use the formula: displaysize=<pixelsize>/96*25.4 5) Reboot or restart X, after which verify the dpi setting is correct by running the following in a terminal. xdpyinfo | grep dimensions xdpyinfo | grep resolution If the resolution is not 96x96, slightly adjust the DisplaySize values until correct. 6) Configure Gnome to run at 96 dots per inch in System > Preferences > Font

As I said, I haven't tried this in SUSE, but I hope it works. Cheers Keith
