3. X Server Command Line Options The next thing you need to do is adjust the command line options for the X server. You'll want to use the -dpi switch which specifies the display resolution in dots per inch. As a lot of systems use high resolution displays these days, chances are they'll be working at 100 dpi. If you start X from the console command prompt, type startx -dpi 100. If you use xdm for graphical logins, you'll want to edit your /usr/X11/lib/X11/xdm/Xservers file, which will have the command line for the Xserver in it. Mine has the line :0 local /usr/X11R6/bin/X -dpi 100 -gamma 1.6 More information is in the X and Xserver man pages.
