One thing good might be to check your DisplaySize (grep Display /var/log/XFree86.0.log), since your DPI is calculated from that and things are using the DPI to calculate font sizes more and more. For some reason it's probed wrong on my system (2500mm x 2500mm or some such). Adding the following line to my XF86Config's Monitor section fixed it. DisplaySize 310 270 If this is the problem, could you tell me what card you're using? -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Eric Anholt eta@lclark.edu http://people.freebsd.org/~anholt/dri/ anholt@FreeBSD.org To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
