Hi folks,
Gentoo 64, kernel-2.6.17-gentoo-r7
Gnome-light, version - 2.14.2
Graphic card - PCI-E, DDR II 128bits
Gigapbte nVidia FeForce 6600,
NX66 series Graphic Accelerator
Philips 190B LCD display, resolution 1280x1024
I doubt having correct screen resolution displayed, large fonts with
corse dots.

xorg.conf was created with;
# X -config /root/xorg.conf.new
# cp /root/xorg.conf.new /etc/X11/xorg.conf
The lines - Modes "1280x1024"- were added manually later.
Please advise how to check the current resolution and how to change
it to "1280x1024" if not correct.
TIA
B.R.

check the contents of /var/log/Xorg.0.log. you should find reference similar to the following:
(II) NVIDIA(0): Setting mode "1280x1024"
else warnings of incompatible resolutions, followed by the above but setting to a fallback instead.
for proper compatibility with your monitor you should add both horizsync and vertrefresh variables to your monitor section. these values can be found in your manufacturers handbook or the spec sheets of there site. make sure you set these values exactly right for your monitor though! screen resolutions and depths can only be set with the correct horizontal and vertical refresh rates, and setting incompatible rates can damage the hardware itself.
note however that font and icon sizes are usually configured via your desktop settings and are system-wide. them being larger than expected may not be due to your resolution.
aliasing and 'smoothness' settings, primarily for font rendering, can also be configured via some desktop configurations. kde for example supports this provided you load some experimental xorg libs.
finally i see your using the nv driver. provided you've installed nvidia's opengl drivers (glx) this is correct, however without the drivers you should be using either nvidia or some other mesa driver, not nv.

Hi TrickyRic,
Tks for your advice.
I did the Gentoo way creating xorg.conf by running;# xongconfig But the xong.conf thus created never worked. Finally I have to manually edit it as follow taking sometimes testing it.
/etc/X11/xorg.confSection "Module"
# This loads the DBE extension module.
Load "dbe" # Double buffer extension
# This loads the miscellaneous extensions module, and disables
# initialisation of the XFree86-DGA extension within that module.

EndSubSection

it only looks 'messy' because of the comments. as far as a conf goes it looks fine to me now.
