edit your xinitrc file
usually located in /etc/X11 folder |

thanks
i managed to do it with modifying this file.
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xdm/Xservers
$ps -ef | grep dpi
root 1615 135 0 02:07 ? 00:00:26 /usr/X11R6/bin/X -dpi 100 -auth /var/run/xauth/A:0-rNRKAs
by the way.. my applications don't seem to use 100 instead of 75?
my main concern is font in galeon browser.
galeon font information gives
-Adobe-Helvetica-Medium-R-Normal--12-120-75-75-P-67-ISO8859-1
which looks like 75..
what do i do?
thanks again

i don't know about galeon
but for availability of 100 dpi fonts
check the xfs (x font server) config file
it should point to 100 dpi font folder
check man xfs
keep posted |

maybe you should change the default resolutions
that should work |
