Anyway, Paul, do you have any font problems after that upgrade? My KDE now behaves very strange. It can not pick the highest resolution set in X. It switched to a lower one, and after that, it does not offer the highest one. I switched to some in between, but that the fonts went wrong. After some playing around, I put it in some strange resolution, and font sizes and it is OK (kind of), but it does not save these settings. So after relogin I have to set it pack.
my hardware setup says: 1280X1024 (SXGA) and 65536 ( 16 bit) color,using a Dell M782 monitor
No I'm using xorg. I loaded it, because I tought that this strange KDE behaviour is because of the old XF. Anyway, in both xorg and XFree these are the settings I have in their config files, and still the same bihaviour: Section "Monitor" Option "CalcAlgorithm" "CheckDesktopGeometry" DisplaySize 320 240 HorizSync 30-80 Identifier "Monitor[0]" ModelName "DELL 1800FP(ANALOG)" Option "DPMS" VendorName "DELL" VertRefresh 56-85 UseModes "Modes[0]" EndSection Section "Modes" Identifier "Modes[0]" Modeline "1280x1024" 157.5 1280 1344 1504 1728 1024 1025 1028 1072 +hsync +vsync EndSection Section "Screen" DefaultDepth 24 SubSection "Display" Depth 15 Modes "1280x1024" EndSubSection SubSection "Display" Depth 16 Modes "1280x1024" EndSubSection SubSection "Display" Depth 24 Modes "1280x1024" EndSubSection SubSection "Display" Depth 32 Modes "1280x1024" EndSubSection SubSection "Display" Depth 8 Modes "1280x1024" EndSubSection Device "Device[0]" Identifier "Screen[0]" Monitor "Monitor[0]" EndSection Section "Device" BoardName "GeForce4 MX 420" BusID "1:0:0" Driver "nvidia" Identifier "Device[0]" Screen 0 Option "Rotate" "off" VendorName "NVidia" EndSection As you can see, the max resolution is 1280x1024. But KDE Display setup allows me (as max): 1280x960@60Hz. I even do not know where from it get this value. Anyway, after every relogin, it always returns to 800x600 and breaks all fonts and sizes.
looks like my options include all the way to 3200X2400 (QUXGA). But as I am... um, how do I say this politically correct <G> optically challenged ( bifocally speaking), I seriously doubt I could read the fonts in that resolution. What I have found is that the terminal program fonts changed, but I like the new default. You can change that under settings, anyway.
Anyone has similar problems?
