I'm know specialist in this area, but... Why are you looking for a change to gnome when you seam to have an XWindows problem?
The DPI setting of your screen, can be changed via YAST2.
Have you tried changing the setting there?
JErry Jerry,
Thanks for replying. Am looking at them because they are the only ones affected. I also had this problem back in 8.0 or 8.1 and it was corrected by using gnonecc.
I have looked at Yast until my eyes got blurry. All and every option I could find for the monitor and the videocard. Never found anything about a dpi setting. I know that it is incorrect. A change there would fix my problems with these apps. Please be so kind as to tell me exactly where to look.
When (and if) you give up trying to get yast to change DPI, you can try modifying /etc/X11/xdm/Xservers like I did. In my case X used too big a font, so I added a '-dpi 75' option to the commands for starting the xdm Xservers: :0 local /usr/X11R6/bin/X -br -dpi 75 vt7 :1 local reserve /usr/X11R6/bin/X -br -dpi 75 :1 vt8 :2 local reserve /usr/X11R6/bin/X -br -dpi 75 :2 vt9 :3 local reserve /usr/X11R6/bin/X -br -dpi 75 :3 vt10 :4 local reserve /usr/X11R6/bin/X -br -dpi 75 :4 vt11 :5 local reserve /usr/X11R6/bin/X -br -dpi 75 :5 vt12 [end quote] I also added it to /opt/kde3/share/config/kdm/Xservers just in case, but kdm does not appear to read that file. (If you find the correct SuSE/Yast way to do this (that works) I will be happy to hear it :-)
