KDM Theme Manager: Fonts too large.

[KStorm]

Regarding my login screen, my "username", "password", and some menu fonts are too large without any apparent way to remedy this. The font adjustment tab in Login Manager doesn't solve the problem.

I'm using the KDM Blue-Bend theme. How to fix font size? Thanks for your help.

Did you go into Administrator mode?

Did you go into Administrator mode?

Yes, but to no avail.

Re: KDM Theme Manager: Fonts too large.

this happens to me too, if i use the fglrx driver. with the radeon - driver everything looks good, although i have now accelerated 3d yet ;(

i still found no way to fix that but changing your kdm-theme definitely helps nothing.

which card do you have?
could you please post your /etc/X11/xorg.conf?

if you can live without 3d, you should use the opensource-drivers.

Re: KDM Theme Manager: Fonts too large.

ok. thanks.
unfortunately i have no experiences with the "ati" - driver as it doesn't work for me (X700 pro). but you could try to replace the "ati" by "radeon". maybe that helps.
