Greetings! How do I go about enabling 100 dpi fonts when using runlevel 5? I have edited the Xservers file and added -dpi 100 to the command line there, but to no avail. It still runs at 75 x 75 dpi. If I start at runlevel 3 and run startx -- -dpi 100 it will start up at 100 x 100 dpi. I am using KDM and KDE. I'm stumped. (Ok, maybe not so hard to do... but I've searched both Suse and Google without finding an answer) Thanks in advance! Doug

So what does the command line look like now? X is very touchy about the order of the parameters. Also, which Xservers file have you edited? kdm uses its own, not the one in /etc/X11/xdm. I'm not sure what gdm uses. Anders

The Xservers file in the directory you mention is the one I edited. I do not know which one kdm uses. That is part of my confusion :( TIA! Doug

kdm uses the file specified in /opt/kde3/share/config/kdm/kdmrc. Look for the line Xservers=/path/to/Xservers/file

Your right. I looked in the kdmrc after doing a search on KDM in the help. Still a no go though. I added the same -dpi 100 to it without sucess. BTW, I also have edited the XF86Config file and my 100 dpi fonts and true type are listed before the 75 dpi fonts. I was following the steps in the FAQ for deuglification of fonts in X. Thanks, Doug
