Thats exactly the reason why i thought, that kde is "optimized" for 75dpi, because on it looks best on my 14''laptop-display as well as on my 19'' deskop-display with 75dpi. Calculating the dpi for both displays would give me some values about 92-96dpi but I think 75dpi looks kind of better. Personaly I find "dpi" as it pretty useless for monitor-description, since we have already all data needed: 1280x1024 (19'') for example. But i admint, that i may have not fully understood this hole "graphics-thingy". BTW as far as i remember XP has only two settings for dpi 96(default) and some-other-but-not-75 (don't remember the exact value). > I don't know how startx work anyway. Me too ;) I wish someone at kde.org could implement some inside-kde-solution for setting the dpi, so we finaly have a common basis for things like setting the default fontsize.
