Small fonts issue after upgrade to latest 8.10 packages

[tmwillett]

After doing the apt-get update/upgrade for the latest 8.10 packages, I've lost the settings that set my dpi for my 40" LCD to larger fonts.  When I reboot, the 'Loading LinuxMCE' messages are all extremely small, and my desktop and web browser fonts unreadable. 

The fix for this in the past was to edit /usr/pluto/bin/Start_X_Wrapper.sh and add -dpi 96 to the end of the xinit line.  Unfortunately, if I try that now, X doesn't start up.  The MD will display the start up commands such as stopping and starting Samba daemons, and then it just stays at a command prompt screen displaying messages, but X never starts.  I also tried to add a dpi command to xorg.conf under monitor (dpi  96 x 96), but I get the same results.  Seems X doesn't like the dpi setting anymore.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

For some reason my TV's always had an issue with communicating it's parameters to the OS. I had to modify something in xorg.conf to get it working right. Sorry I can't be more specific... It was a long while ago and I didn't make notes.

Thanks, but I've done the changes to the xorg.conf file and they caused the same problem.  Not sure what changed, but X doesn't like the 'old' way of doing this.  Does anyone know what was changed in the latest release to cause this, or have a work around?

Thanks

Found the fix.  Needed to add:

    Option         "UseEdidDpi" "False"
    Option         "DPI" "96 x 96"

to xorg.conf since it's an nVidia card.
