right side is conky,
bottom is pypanel.

i only can have decent font/resolution with:

Code:

$ sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop
$ startx -- -dpi 100

How do i can i fix it forever?

Did you know you linked to your own thread?

And this is the Slackware-Installation forum.

What does that have to do with ubuntu?

Let me take a guess ... look at me /etc/X11/xorg.conf file:

Code:

Section "Monitor"

# HorizSync is in kHz unless units are specified.
# HorizSync may be a comma separated list of discrete values, or a
# comma separated list of ranges of values.
# NOTE: THE VALUES HERE ARE EXAMPLES ONLY.  REFER TO YOUR MONITOR'S
# USER MANUAL FOR THE CORRECT NUMBERS.
#    HorizSync  30-64         # multisync
#    HorizSync  31.5, 35.2    # multiple fixed sync frequencies
#    HorizSync  15-25, 30-50  # multiple ranges of sync frequencies
# VertRefresh is in Hz unless units are specified.
# VertRefresh may be a comma separated list of discrete values, or a
# comma separated list of ranges of values.
# NOTE: THE VALUES HERE ARE EXAMPLES ONLY.  REFER TO YOUR MONITOR'S
# USER MANUAL FOR THE CORRECT NUMBERS.
    Identifier     "AOC 203Vw+"
        DisplaySize     433    270
        HorizSync       31.0 - 82.0
        VertRefresh     56.0 - 75.0
        Option         "DPI" "100 x 100"
EndSection

Section "Device"

    #VideoRam    4096
    # Insert Clocks lines here if appropriate
    Identifier     "VESA Framebuffer"
    Driver         "nvidia"
EndSection

Section "Screen"

# If your card can handle it, a higher default color depth (like 24 or 32)
# is highly recommended.
#   DefaultDepth 8
#   DefaultDepth 16
#   DefaultDepth 32
# "1024x768" is also a conservative usable default resolution.  If you
# have a better monitor, feel free to try resolutions such as
# "1152x864", "1280x1024", "1600x1200", and "1800x1400" (or whatever your
# card/monitor can produce)
    Identifier     "Screen 1"
        Device     "VESA Framebuffer"
#       Device     "nVidia"
        Monitor    "AOC 203Vw+"
        DefaultDepth    24
SubSection     "Display"
        Depth       24
        Modes      "1680x1050" "1400x1050"
EndSubSection
EndSection

just the monitor section.

Uh. Moved it to the right forum and stuff. Please go easy on newbies Bruce Hill (esp. if there's moderator errors involved :-] ).

Sorry mate. There was no way for me to know then, or now, that there were "moderator
errors involved." And, that was my "easy", just asking appropriate questions.

Furthermore, I posted the "fix it forever" solution, eh?
