ralph1976 Posted February 10, 2004 Report Share Posted February 10, 2004 how can i see with how many dpi my mandrake 9.2 is running and how could i change it? when i use mozilla 1.5 and leave the fonts on system settings, some sites look corrupted, meaning a little to large or broad. when i change the dpi setting to 96 everything looks fine. so i guess my system setting is 75 dpi. is it useful to change the rest of linux to 96 or above dpi?

Pzatch Posted February 11, 2004 Report Share Posted February 11, 2004 I canged as much of mine as I could to 96. My monitor will run higher I think but I don't notice the change over 96. Everything is REAL crisp and cleap for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aRTee Posted February 11, 2004 Report Share Posted February 11, 2004 In the log file for the xserver you find dpi info: /var/log/xfree.0.log or something; just check that dir and you will find which file I mean. It's quite a long file, just search it for 'dpi'. I used a trick on my xfconfig file to tell the system a different size screen than I really have, which means that I don't get a different size font even if I only turn on the screen after the x-server has started, and it is exactly 100dpi... check my config.
