There's supposed to be a module in the control center that lets you do cool X 4.3 stuff like resizing the display. I don't seem to have it in my control panel - maybe it was omitted or Chris & Ben don't think it's ready yet. That leaves plan B - reconfiguring the X server. Like in Perl, There's More Than One Way to do this. I do it the old fashioned way - editing /etc/X11/XF86Config-4. You can also do dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86, or run one of the zillions of X configurator programs out there. Definitely follow David Bishop's advice concerning adding -dpi 100 to /usr/share/config/kdm/Xservers. That'll help deal with dreaded tiny font disease. Also go into Appearance & Themes -> Fonts and play with the fonts until you find them readable. Doug
