Display problem text extremely small
I am moving from Red Hat 9.0 to Mandrake 9.2 and I am having a probelm.
I am installing Mandrake 9.2 as I write this. When it comes to the display setup I have a probelm. I am using onboard video on my MSI KM4M-L board. I specify my monitor KDS AV-7T, and vesa video. I go to test it and I get a window with two options but the text is so small I cannot read it. it looks like a bunch of periods close together. I treid setting the resolution at different settings. Is there a way to remedy this? I tried Mandrake Move and I had the same problem on this system. I used Mandrake Move on my windows box and everything works fine. Am I in need of a seperate video card? Here is the link to the motherboard (MSI) Thanks in Advance -DigitalGravy |
Hello,
Can you be more specific on the symptoms? Maybe the pb you have is the same as mine? (see thread " How can I solve this random Font Size problem? " in SlackWare forum). Yesterday I tryied to solve my random "tiny fonts" problem using what is said in the 10 first posts of the following thread: < http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...003/12/4/77536 > which I found very interesting, but without success. I've just had a look at this thread. And you know what, the new posts are on such a "tiny fonts" problem. So I suggest you have a look at it. It might help... As to me, I will read it through right now. See you. Sylvain. |
I am re-visiting this problem as I install Mandrake 10.
I have figured it out now. In 9.2 when the system boots, it corrects itself, but in 10 it does not. I decided to reinstall and i chose to install the 100pt fonts also, so the text is small, but legible. Now I just have a little tweaking to do. |
