Hi All,

I changed the monitor on a box that runs kdm/KDE and the fonts on KDE apps =
are=20
giving me a headache from eye strain. This is particularly bad when workin=
g=20
at a console (white letters on black background) and KDE text editors (with=
=20
black letters on white background). Essentially, the antiailiasing seems t=
o=20
alter the consistency of fonts in an irregular manner causing them to blur=
=20
(differently) across the screen, as if the monitor resolution is out of syn=
c.

The resolution in xorg.conf is set at 360 290 mm, but the DDC picks this up=
on=20
its own anyway, whether I define it in xorg.conf, or not. I have no modeli=
ne=20
set. All I can think that is amiss is the DPI. I seem to be getting a DPI=
=20
of 90x89:

$ xdpyinfo | grep resolution
resolution: 90x89 dots per inch

Could this be the cause of my headache and how should I fix it?
=2D-=20
Regards,
Mick
