Take a ruler and mesure the visible screen width of you monitor. Convert this value to inches if you're using a cm ruler (multiply by 2.54). Then divide the number of vertical pixels (like 800, 1024, 1280, depending on the mode you're using) by the visible screen width in inches. Then go xdpyinfo | grep "resolution:" to compare that to what your Xserver thinks the resolution is. -- Philipp Lehman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
