Didnt know where else to post soo i will post the problem in here..

I got a 42" Plasma tv from LG its NOT a HDTV screen but max resulution are 1024x768 on DVI input

When using the resolution 1024x768 the fonts in mythfrontend are very small (its the same with 800x600) hmm i cant see the text at all.

Iam using Nvidia Fx5200 With DVI output

So my question are .. Where can i change the Font size ?

Is it possible to change it in XF86Config-4 file ??

or are there anywere else i can change it

I should mension that on the Xdesktop the font size are small too
And changing the resolution too 800x600 doesnt help on font size at all

Anyone with a sugestion ???

Using
KnoppMyth R5a16
Asus P4P800 main board
Geforce Fx5200
Wintv Pvr 150 mce

Edit your XF86Config-4 file and under the "Monitor" section add a DisplaySize line. Mine is "DisplaySize 240 135" but you should play with those numbers as that is for a widescreen aspect ratio and you're at 4:3 when running at 1024x 768.

Running "man XF86Config-4" eventually tells you about DisplaySize and that it's supposed to be a measure (in mm) of the monitor, but I don't think that entering the actual size of my 42" screen gave me proper results.

yep now it works
i set the displaysize to 340 235 and it looks great with the that on the fonts sooo thanx again

now i just have too figure out how too get sound on my mythtv *lol* and how too get my dvddrive too work with cd´s (mp3 that is)

any chance on you knowing that ???

I am running mythtv on a 42" samsung DLP. I had everything working
except mplayer. so i upgraded my nvidia drivers (geforce 6600 w/ DVI) and not my fonts are REALLY small. I checked my xorg.conf file and my display size is still as it was before. Changing it has not effect on the display. HELP!!!!!!!!
