Log In Screen Fonts???

[JokersLoose]

Sorry to ask so many questions.

When I start my system my log in screen fonts are huge. So I looked around and seen one that said to edit my xorg.conf file. The log in screen loads the first font it comes too. So this is what it says:

Section "Device"
Identifier "ATI Technologies Inc RC410 [Radeon Xpress 200M]"
Driver "ati"
BusID "PCI:1:5:0"
EndSection

Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Generic Monitor"
Option "DPMS"
EndSection

Section "Screen"
Identifier "Default Screen"
Device "ATI Technologies Inc RC410 [Radeon Xpress 200M]"
Monitor "Generic Monitor"
DefaultDepth 24
SubSection "Display"
Modes "1280x800"
EndSubSection
EndSection

The other stuff listed doesn't look like it has anything to do with displays. But if you need anything else listed please let me know. So the only size set is the 1280x800, so if this is right where would I need to put the 1280x800 so my log in screen loads to that size?

I also read at this link: http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:G..._splash_screen

And it says to edit my menu.lst and add "vga=***" with *** being my screen res I want to use to the line that has "splash" in it. The only line in my menu.lst I find with that is:

## additional options to use with the default boot option, but not with the
## alternatives
## e.g. defoptions=vga=791 resume=/dev/hda5
# defoptions=quiet splash

So it already has the vga option listed (791), would I changed that to one of the other numbers listed in the table on the link I posted? I have a Toshiba LapTop I am using.

Of course I guess I could do an auto log in seeing as I am the only user on the system.

Thanks for the help

Re: Log In Screen Fonts

I looked at my xorg.conf file and everything was the same except for this:

Section "Device"
Identifier "ATI Technologies Inc RC410 [Radeon Xpress 200M]"
Driver "fglrx"
BusID "PCI:1:5:0"
EndSection

Also, my menu.lst file has the 791 and my log-in screen is normal.

I had a different boot-up problem than yours but maybe my solution will work for you too. My boot up was extremely slow and I only got a black screen during boot up instead of a splash screen. I added the following to my /etc/usplash.conf file and it fixed it:

# Usplash configuration file
xres=1280
yres=800
