Something was already discussed at [1], at least now we've the same
problem: huge fonts.

When have you launched xdpyinfo? I discovered the following:
1) at boot I get 75x75, fonts are a bit smaller, but still OK
2) `xrandr -s [0|1]` changes to 284x280, the same with `xrandr -o [0|2]`
3) `xranrd -o [1|3]` changes to 378x210
4) `xrandr -s [2|3]` changes to 142x140
Then, I can go back to 75x75 anymore, i.e. `xrandr --dpi 75` doesn't
have any effect. Timo, do you have the same?
FWIW, xrandr doesn't work with X.org, so I cannot test it :-(

I'd like the same values for both Xglamo and X.Org.

AFAIK something around 100x100 is the standard, but I'm not really an
expert on this subject.

ATM I'd prefer to specify it into /etc/init.d/zhone-session;

However, as soon as you use xrandr, these values change for the bad :-(

FSO X (Xglamo or Xfbdev) is started with the following settings,,
specified in /etc/X11/Xserver:96:
ARGS="$ARGS -dpi 285 -screen 480x640 [...]" ;;
This means that the value we obtain after the first xrandr command is
"correct". However, I don't understand why it specifies 285 DPI.
Thx, bye,
