My guess is that you have a large and/or high resolution display. I think there are two ways to approach fixing this.
First, you could start X with the correct dpi setting for your monitor by editing /etc/gdm/gdm.conf - look for the [server-Standard] section and edit the "command=" line so that it includes something like "-dpi 110" (or whatever your actual dpi is). Alternatively, I think it is possible to specify your monitor's physical dimensions in XF86Config-4 so they it can correctly work out the dpi for itself. This is probably the best solution, but it is more of an X bug than a gdm bug. The second approach would be to find some way to modify the gconf settings for the gdm user that gdm runs as; you could then specify the screen dpi, or just set a big font for the gdm user... I think one of the previous methods would be better though. -- Gilbert Laycock email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Maths and Computer Science, http://www.mcs.le.ac.uk/~glaycock University of Leicester phone: (+44) 116 252 3902 UK GPG: 7D025C00
