    Higher DPI

    I want to set the DPI a little higher than the default 96 dpi. But I can only choose for 120, which is a little too big.
    On GNOME you can change the DPI-size to whatever you want.

    How can I set it somewhere between 96 and 120 on KDE?

    Depends on what your video setup is. I have nvidia so I use Option "DPI" "100x100" in my xorg.conf. I use 100dpi because I use 100dpi fonts

    You could try:

    xrandr --dpi 100

      I have an ATI Mobility Radeon 4570HD Videocard with 512MB GDDR3 RAM, up to 2280MB VRAM

      I could use xrandr indeed, but that's only a temporary solution.

        not necessarily - xrandr commands can be executed at X start in several ways.

        If you're using an /etc/X11/xorg.conf file, try the option I suggested.

        Or:
        You can create ~/.xprofile which is executed on Xorg startup if it exists and is executable. You can copy and paste xrandr commands into this file so they’re executed when you log in.

        For KDM to load settings before log in, add your xrandr commands to /etc/kde4/kdm/Xsetup.

        With these solutions, the former will affect only your user and the latter all users.

          96dpi is ok!

            Hmm, that doesn't seem to work here
