HI all,

When I start my SuSE 8.0 system in run level 3, it comes up in textmode. I log in and issue the startx command and KDE comes up. In my ~/.xserverrc file, I have put "-dpi 100" and the X server comes up in 100 dpi mode and I am a happy camper.

Now, I think I'd like to have the graphical login from run level 5. kdm comes up with a nice screen, but the X server is only running at 75 dpi. I cannot figure out where to put the 100 dpi setting for this situation. It appears not to read the same files for the xdm/kdm method of starting the X server as it does when one types startx.

So, how do I properly setup 100 dpi for kdm/xdm?

Perhaps /etc/X11/xinit/xserverrc (or wherever your distro puts it)? I don't know if *dms use it, but i'd think they probably would. mine says: #!/bin/sh exec /usr/bin/X11/X -dpi 100 -nolisten tcp -- Aaron Haviland orion [at] tribble [dot] dyndns [dot] org orion [at] parsed [dot] net "Here I stand, foot in hand, talking to my wall. I'm not quite right at all, am I?" -Bowie.
