microscopics fonts in KDE/KDM
I have this porblem on system with slack 9.1 updated to 10.0
After the update process (and passing form Xfree to xorg) there was no problems, fonts and desktop was ok. Now I changed the monitor, i reconfigured xorg (via xorgconfig) and now I have fonts sized LESS than 2 pixel. using XDM and / or destktop manager (fvwm blackbox ecc ecc) fonts are normal, but under KDM/KDE it's pretty impossible to read anything. I'm searching the config fiel for KD* where is stored the base font size, but I'm unable to find it. Do anyone can help me ?? Thanks a lot in advance |

I'm using gdm it offers choice of kde or many other different sorts of window manager sessions. From my experiments, I discovered that gdm (gnome display manager) its first initiation arise from file 1. /etc/rc.d/rc.4 (can opt for your display manager of choice, there,, choose one from three available.) 2. /etc/X11/gdm/gdm.conf # Definition of the standard X server. [server-Standard] name=Standard server command=/usr/X11R6/bin/X -dpi 100 flexible=true (it comes original without the -dpi 100 which I added it in) 3. /usr/bin/gdm is what ultimately fire up the gdm. It uses commands that were set in #2 the gdm.conf. It takes those commands and launches /usr/bin/gdm-binary -- Right now, I got my dpi config at -dpi 125. But the kde font are slightly too big. So my next try will be at -dpi 120. (at config of 125 the xdpyinfo reports 100x94) -- (if kdm is your dm of choice) Looks like kdm is fired up in a different way. /opt/kde/bin/kdm is the binary and it's called up directly from the #1 item above, the rc.4 file. I do not know if the -dpi option can be added to the kdm portion of the rc.4 file or not. I wouldn't go back though, not after using gdm. If you search, Google etc. for it, theres a way/method to add logout/shutdown capability for a user to gdm. -- Some more that I found: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...hreadid=210775 -- Disclaimer: I don't know if it's possible to damage hardware or not by use of the config items that I've shared herein. My video card and monitor support quite a lot. So, likely I not have a problem. All is fine so far. And I'll take conservative route ie only up it enough so as to be adequate for my use rather than get carried away with it. -- Alan. |
