Hi All, |

I changed the monitor on a box that runs kdm/KDE and the fonts on KDE apps are |
| 4 |
giving me a headache from eye strain. This is particularly bad when working |
| 5 |
at a console (white letters on black background) and KDE text editors (with |
| 6 |
black letters on white background). Essentially, the antiailiasing seems to |
| 7 |
alter the consistency of fonts in an irregular manner causing them to blur |
| 8 |
(differently) across the screen, as if the monitor resolution is out of sync. |

The resolution in xorg.conf is set at 360 290 mm, but the DDC picks this up on |
| 11 |
its own anyway, whether I define it in xorg.conf, or not. I have no modeline |
| 12 |
set. All I can think that is amiss is the DPI. I seem to be getting a DPI |
| 13 |
of 90x89: |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
$ xdpyinfo | grep resolution |
| 16 |
resolution: 90x89 dots per inch |

Could this be the cause of my headache and how should I fix it? |
