I also find the manual dpi setting annoying My screen is screen #0: dimensions: 1400x1050 pixels (301x232 millimeters) resolution: 118x115 dots per inch and as i use programs like the gimp, etc its nice to have it get the correct dpi without manually having to configure it. Xfree86 correctly detects the dpi on my system (geforce4go/ tft ). Best Regards Jools -- Oxford Inspire jools@oxfordinspire.co.uk Tel: 01865 751879 Mob: 07966 577498
