Hi, How do I change my graphical stuff (KDE, Gnome etc.) to use 100dpi, instead of 75dpi? This should be easy, but I just can't find what to change. Phil -- Linux 2.4.4-4GB 11:58am up 2 days, 20:57, 2 users, load average: 0.08, 0.02, 0.01

I had the same question a couple of weeks ago and the answer is, as you suspect, very simple. Start sax2, when you come to the monitor section click properties then expert. Go down to where it says DPMS and in the boxes below enter the measurments of the visible part of the screen. Save as usual, logout and restart the X-server.

Did that and it is still 75dpi. I am sure it must be easy, in Windows it just requires a right-click on the desktop <g> Phil -- Linux 2.4.4-4GB 10:07pm up 4 days, 7:06, 3 users, load average: 0.91, 0.38, 0.16
