All the fonts are tiny! My xorg.conf file uses 1920x1200, but in KDE I clicked 'Configure Desktop', 'Display' tab, and changed my resolution to 1024x768 so it would better fit in my VMware window. That shouldn't have anything to do with it, right? I tried increasing my font sizes, but I feel that this is a cheap hack workaround. Also, it doesn't completely fix the problem because there are still some fonts that are too small to read (for example, in System Settings -> System Services).</blockquote><div> It is most likely that xorg cannot identify the real display characteristics when running under VMWare. You may need to tell xorg the size of your display 'xdpyinfo' will display display information. xdpyinfo | egrep '(resolution|dimension)' will display just the relevant bits. This will probably show 75x75 dots per inch before setting the size Try adding a Displaysize option (in millimetres) to the "Monitor" section of /etc/X11/xorg.conf. e.g. excerpt from my xorg.conf (for my 17" Dell) Section "Monitor" Identifier "vmware" VendorName "VMware, Inc" HorizSync 1-10000 VertRefresh 1-10000 # DisplaySize 372 230 # </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">Thanks for the help!</blockquote><div> Hope this helps </div> </div> -- Regards, Andrew Wallace
