Hi,
I have Samsung SyncMaster 793DF which supports upto 1280x1024 resolution. While installing SuSE 10.0, it identified correctly and configured correctly as 1280x1024 only. The problem with this resolution is that everthing looks damn small.
As most of the time my box is clocking at 100% cpu, I want to save some cycles by using a light weight window manager other than KDE. I liked Blackbox and wanted to use it. When I start Blackbox the default resolution is 1280x1024 and the xterm is so damn small that I am not able to read it beyond 30 cm from the monitor. In KDE I overcame this by setting the resolution at 1024x768 in the configure display dialogue and applying that setting whenever I login into KDE.
I would like to have the resolution set at 1024x768 in Blackbox and other window managers also. Can someone tell me how to do this? Below is my xorg.conf.
Regards, Chaitanya. While your sitting with damn small I have a similar issue with suse10, My res is also at 1280x1024 but my fonts are massive, I have also played in the xorg.conf and had no luck..
There is an easy way for you. One would be to configure a geneic monitor 1280x1024 @ 60 - 75 hz or use kde control center in the themes section and change the font sizes or your theme.. Which ever work best for you.. Hope this helps you Chadley
