Package: xdm
Version: 1:1.1.8-3
Severity: important
After upgrading from etch, the new X server displays the xdm login screen
in extremely tiny fonts, despite an apparently correct font setting
in /etc/X11/xdm/Xresources (fonts checked with xfontsel).
It turns out that the new X server requires a call parameter setting
the screen resolution:
Change
:0 local /usr/bin/X :0 vt7 -nolisten tcp
into
:0 local /usr/bin/X :0 vt7 -dpi 100 -nolisten tcp
The same fix is required for the xserver startup arguments in the
xinit package (separately filed).
