Yesterday my mother bought me a 32" LG L3200T Flatron monitor. It's beautiful. i almost get whiplash turning my head to see both sides of it at once.
The problem is, at 1600x1200 resolution (the highest it will go), i have a pitiful DPI, and text is really blurry.
Sounds like that "monitor" is a widescreen TV. Will your video card produce widescreen resolutions? Older ones won't. Likely for that size screen you want something like 1920x1200, 2048x1280, 2560x1600 or higher. If sax2 didn't add them to xorg.conf, try adding them yourself, highest first, on the same line with the other possible resolutions for your color depth.

"The way i calculate it" (which might not be correct), i should be able to pump that up to 62 DPI, which would be a bit of an improvement.
The problem is - i have no idea how to manually set the DPI.
Can someone gently prod me in the proper direction here?
Setting DisplaySize in Section "Monitor" in xorg.conf is most likely all you need. There are other ways. http://www.mozilla.org/unix/dpi.html gives many of them. If when you try you don't get desired results, have a look at /var/log/Xorg.0.log for clues to what might be wrong and what might be possible and share your findings here. -- "The Lord is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in him, and I am helped."
