Are you running LMCE 710 or 810?

Hi,

I saw something similar on 710 where the window was small and hence font too.

I played around with it to enlarge the font to see what was happening.

However, in the end I changed xorg to edid=true for my LCD and things were OK.

I haven't seen this issue in 810.  Did not need to change anything in 810.

Hi,

I saw this using EDID. And if you are not using EDID this will probably not work for you.


try adding this entry to /etc/X11/xorg.conf below
   Section "Screen"
AND
  Section "Device"


        Option "UseEDIDDpi" "false"




Attached the xorg.conf i used below 0710 (IIRC) and the one I now use in 0810.
You might have to disable a script to keep LinuxMCE from overwriting your changes ;)
