I have a DECstation 3100 running Ultrix 4.1, and I have a VR160 monitor. This monitor has 1024x864 pixel resolution with a picture size of 240mm x 203mm giving x & y resolutions of ~108dpi. I have replaced DECwindows with X11R4, but my server thinks that the screen is 333mm x 281mm which I imagine corresponds to a normal 19" monitor. Can someone tell me how to configure the X11R4 distribution to fully realize that it is a ~100dpi screen? Some specific concerns include: - Choosing the 100dpi fonts instead of 75dpi fonts by default. - Setting the screen size accurately. What are the consequences of my current installation which thinks it is a 78 dpi screen? Tom Epperly epperly@osnome.che.wisc.edu te07@cs.cmu.edu

Edit your xdm/Xservers file to pass -dpi 100 to the server
on the command line. See the Xserver(1) man page.
