<Solved>MDM login font too small!
Posted: Fri May 25, 2012 5:51 pm
I know its not a "Desktop" per say, but this seemed like the best place for this question.
OS: Linux Mint 13 x86_64
Display Manager: MDM
System Specs:
Asus G73SW
Nvidia GTX 460
12 gigs ddr 3
Desktops installed:
Gnome-shell
awsome
lxde
Cinnamon
problem: When a second monitor (or tv) is plugged in the login screen font is unreadably too small! Using the Nvidia-settings manager I note that it is set to 30X30 for the dpi
Attempted solutions:
inside of the /etc/mdm/Iinit/Default
Inside of xorg.conf (this worked when I was running Mint 12 with lxde)
This actually caused X to stop working completely I had to remove these from xorg.conf
Once I am at the desktop in Cinnamon or Gnome-Shell the dpi does not effect the operation of the desktop... So its annoying but liveable... its just too bad the login font is soooooo small.
Anyone have any suggestions?

Attempted solutions:
Code: Select all
xrandr --dpi 96
Code: Select all
Option "DPI" "96X96"
