How do I keep my res at 1024x768, but increase font size? |

If you're using KDE, click the "K" in the bottom left corner and choose Preferences -> Look & Feel -> Fonts from the menus. |

modify /usr/X11R6/bin/startx to add a server argument "-dpi 96" |

Any editor should do. I had this line:
I changed it to:
Code: | serverargs="-dpi 96" |
Didn't notice any differences (Gnome panel icons may have gotten smaller). |

It should definitely make a difference. BTW, there are no fixed values for DPI, you can pick whatever you like ... try 120 for example. You can easily test it before changing config files:
It's true that panel fonts might not change that much at first, but then you just configure your window manager accordingly. If you look at your fonts applet or open a doc/page you can see the difference immediately. |
