Hey!
I recently installed Linux MCE. The media center interface looks alright but when I go to the KDE desktop pushing the kde button, do load into the interface but the font of the entire desktop is so tiny I can not read it.
it is weird cause when I use the magnifying glass it zooms the desktop in and I still can not read font.
I am using an integrated vid/motherboard system with more than likely a chipset from intel... but i could be wrong it could be some ati...
Anyways... any suggestions?
this has been solved earlier on this forum.
do a search, sorry, that's all I remember
That is a know configuration problem, see Display_Drivers in the wiki on how to fix it.
So I changed /etc/X11/xorg.conf and added the line
DisplaySize 800 645
and it will not put up into X windows...
Am I missing something here?
btw I am using an LCD tv with vga input.
Now, I do get into x windows but the font size does not change.
I am using an intel based vid card.

We see the same problem here on Intel i950 graphics chip based motherboards... and the fix does not work for us either :-(
I think that setting is so that the DPI (dots per inch iirc) value is calculated correctly. Which affects the font sizes. Maybe you guys have a different problem, I'm not using Intel but I had exactly the same symptoms with ATI.
Check the /var/log/Xorg.0.log logfile, I just searched for DPI and found this:
(WW) fglrx(0): Probed monitor is 2550x2550 mm, using Displaysize 155x95 mm
(**) fglrx(0): DPI set to (104, 128)
(--) fglrx(0): Virtual size is 640x480 (pitch 640)
If you guys have sane values there then I guess it is not the same thing.
I borrowed a pci-e nvidia card and it fixed the problem... why did i cheap out on the integrated video card! grrrr!
