>From the sound of this, the issue is that text displayed in GDM/Gnome is tiny/unreadable. Based on this assumption, my guess is you have anti-aliased fonts turned on. I've had this issue on several computers. For some reason, when you enable AA fonts, it shrinks everything to ~1 pixel in height. There is a config file somewhere (and I can never remember where) that allows you to specify your display dpi, and after that it works fine. It might be the XF86config file... There's info on this here: http://patriot.net/~scoile/fonts/fixing-2.html but this is for XDM, and I don't recall a similar config file for GDM. Or perhaps I lied: http://www.mozilla.org/unix/dpi.html this makes it sound like this is for GDM under RH, but I doubt that is the case. Found another link that references a GDM config file, http://mail.gnome.org/archives/garnome-list/2002-September/msg00310.html so these last two links are what you should look at, I think. That is, of course, assuming this is what your issue surrounds. > -----Original Message----- > From: tclug-list-bounces at mn-linux.org > [mailto:tclug-list-bounces at mn-linux.org] On Behalf Of Josh Trutwin > Sent: Monday, December 15, 2003 22:55 > To: mike at JentgeS.NeT; TCLUG Mailing List > Subject: Re: [TCLUG] GDM Fonts [WAS: Simple slackware question] > > > On Mon, 15 Dec 2003 20:35:37 -0600 > "Mike J." <mike at JentgeS.NeT> wrote: > > > > >I still cannot display any text on GDM or on the prompt > that comes > > up > > >when I try to log out of gnome, not sure what that's all about, > > >otherwise it's a pretty sweet distro. > > > > To be clear, you realize these are Gnome, XFree86 issues right? > > Nothing to do with the fact that you're using Slackware, per se. :) > > Yup. > > > P.S.
