I just upgraded to R5A12 and everything went smoothly once I got the ivtv and remote issues sorted out. But I use the titivillus theme and before I upgraded all the menu items showed up on one screen. But ever since the upgrade the font size has been too large and pushed the Knoppmyth option off the bottom. The main issue is that the folder names in my videos section is affected as well and makes the folder names become difficult to read because they are large and incomplete.

I think this might have something to do with setting the tv option during the install. I have tried playing around with my XF86Config-4 and the Appearance option, but no dice. I am using a chaintech 7nif2 with it's onboard geForce4. Any help would be appriciated.

I believe that the default fonts are now the 100 DPI ones Certain themes don't work very well with this choice. You can force it to use the 75 DPI ones to see if that makes you happier. Searching the forum for "100 dpi fonts" (and checking all terms) should turn up the details you need.
