Hello SuSE people,
Here we go again. Got a beautiful new 21" lcd monitor fron all of my children for the old guys's birthday. Installed jusr fine. (Samsung )
I've recently done the same. There was a lot of rigamarole, but when the dust settled, it was worth it. 1600x1200 LCD with DVI is breathtakingly sharp, but that sharpness alone is a complication, especially when it comes to fonts.
Of courae with higher resolutions I had to change icons and fonts in KDE. Not a problem. But when it comes to Firefox, GQview, Gimp, and the KDM logon screen, I end up with teeny tint fonts. Less than 1/8" high and almost impossibe for the old guy to read. Fixed the KDM logon screen by editing kdmrc.
This happened a couple of years ago in 8.0? and I fixed it by running gnomecc. Don't have that anymore in 9.2.
Are you sure? It's in SuSE 9.3: K Menu -> Utilities -> Desktop -> Gnome Control Center. Although I used it just a few weeks ago when I installed my LCD display, just now it took me quite a while to find it. The K Menu is big, and if it's intuitively organized, the intuition employed does not correspond well to my own.
Suggestions on how to increase font sizes in X for the apps that KDE doesn't handle ??
