ENORMOUS fonts on 40zoll hd tv
#1
Hello,
i just installed http://xbmcfreak.binkey.nl/XBMCbuntu-v34.zip on a atom board with 945 chipset and a nvidia 8400gs graphic card. If the atom is connected to a medion 23 zoll monitor all is working fine. If i connect the atom to the Samsung LE 40B650 (1080p)then i get very big fonts. the playing of videos in xbmcuntu session is working but i have ENORMOUS fonts, resulting in overzsized dialog windows and /or fixed sized windows which cannot hold the huge fontsize.

So i think there is problem with the combination of my graphic card the nvidia driver and the samsung tv. But in fact i'm a normaly a windows user and don't know how to fix this. Editing der xorg.conf might be the solution.

Code:
xubuntu@xbmcuntu:~$ cd /etc/X11
xubuntu@xbmcuntu:/etc/X11$ cat xorg.conf

So your Section "Monitor" would look like this

Code:
Section "Monitor"
    Identifier     "Monitor0"
    VendorName     "Unknown"
    ModelName      "Unknown"
    HorizSync       28.0 - 33.0
    VertRefresh     43.0 - 72.0
    Option         "DPMS"
    Option         "DPI" "96 x 96"
EndSection
