    Tiny text after game crash

    The following is more annoying than a major problem. A reboot (or maybe even logout/login) fixes it. Just wondering if there's a quicker way to fix.

    So I launch a game which changed my desktop resolution to 800x600. Usually when games do this and I exit the game it goes back to my normal resolution 1024x768 (laptop's native res) and all is good. This time the game crashed leaving my res at 800x600. I go to system settings and change the res back to 1024x768. Now when I open a terminal the text in there is really really tiny. Same for the text in the panel where the task manager is.

    Is there a quick way to get the text back to normal without rebooting? Or a way to make it not happen in the first place?

    [edit]
    Just realised that I could check for an option in the game for keeping the res at 1024x768. Might help in the future.

    Hi,

    If this happens again, maybe you can try to logout, choose the option to re-start the X (display) server in the login manager, and then login again. That should do!
