When I use the System Settings / Display applet, the "Advanced" tab says my display DPI is 2438 x 2438. The "set DPI" button allows me to enter my monitor size (12" wide x 9" high), which it boldly calculates to 2438 x 2438 DPI (I wish my paycheck was calculate the same way). The "lookup monitor" button is grayed out. The monitor type is a Viewsonic 17 (1782) which, as I recall, I had to configure manually .... I will try a generic 1280x1024 monitor setting. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
