 |
|
Can anybody give me a quick hint on how to force X to come up in 75dpi instead of 100dpi? In Debian I could append a parameter to the appropriate configuration file, but I was unable to figure out where to put the parameter in Gentoo so far.
I don't want to have to change the fonts configuration or delete the 100dpi fonts altogether, like some other folks suggested.
For example, I'd like to have vt7 running as 75dpi and vt8 as 100dpi. I'd love to read up on the topic, but I couldn't find anything suitable with in the forums with the search function. |

Try this:
| Code: | $ startx -dpi 75 -- :1
$ startx -dpi 100 -- :2 |
or
| Code: | $ startx -dpi 75 -depth 16 -- :1
$ startx -dpi 100 -depth 16 -- :2 |
I think these options can be set by default in ~/.xserverrc. I'm not exactly what you need to put in the file though. Google should be of help. |

Do you use startx? gdm? kdm?
startx has already been covered.
gdm:
Edit the file /etc/X11/gdm/gdm.conf
Take a look at the sections:
[servers] and [server-Standard]
Edit the command to be like this:
| Code: |
command=/usr/X11R6/bin/X -audit 0 -nolisten tcp -dpi 75
|
If you need another server with dpi 100, add a new section.
You may add the following to your gdm.conf file.
[servers]
0=Standard
1=DPI
[server-DPI]
name=Server with 100 dpi
command=/usr/X11R6/bin/X -audit 0 -nolisten tcp -dpi 100

Thanks, I totally forgot to mention that I was using kdm. I'll try your suggestions out as soon as possible! |
