In Sax2, if the wrong screen size was selected (17in instead of 15.4 in), then the aspect ratio and screen dimensions are likely also wrong. Did you check these as well?
I did but I don't know what would be the correct aspect ratio, my screen is somewhat wide. SaX2 currently has my aspect ratio at 5/4, with the options of Not Configured, 4/3, 5,4, 16/10. What good is the Not Configured option? My screen is "AUO AUO LCD MONITOR" I know that it was the same for when I had 8.40.x driver so that didn't change for sure.
If it is a laptop I would guess that its 16/10, but there is an excellent, time tested way to check - use a ruler ;-) Seriously, measure the horizontal and vertical dimensions of your screen in mm (these are the values that should appear in sax2 anyway) and their ratio is the aspect ratio of your screen. If this is a pretty standard laptop then once you select the right aspect ratio, when you pick the right screen size (say 15.4in) the horizontal and vertical dimensions should be pretty close to what you measure. After you have done this and are up and running, try the following commands (without the quotes) "xdpyinfo | grep dimensions" <--Pixels and physical dimensions "xdpyinfo | grep resolution" <-- dots per inch For the dots per inch you want this to be close to square (say 96x96 or 100x100) for the fonts to come out right. When all of these are set right, the difference in the clarity of the fonts can be HUGE. At least that has been my experience.
