I think it could be done by specifying under "Monitor" or "Device" section (check your xorg manual to get the right place) in "/etc/X11/ xorg.conf" that option: *** Option "DPI" "96x96" *** Look, my xorg (wrongly?) sets DPI at 86, but in GNOME I have configured a 96dpi value because I feel more confortable with it: s...@stt008:~$ cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep DPI (--) NVIDIA(0): DPI set to (85, 86); computed from "UseEdidDpi" X config Greetings, -- Camaleón -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
