Some of you Guys knowI just installed SuSe 9.1 on my duallie, and I need some more help on it.The font size is so small, I almost can't see it(must be a sign of old age :rotfl: ).How do I change the font size to something my half blind arse can see?

I didn't think of it until just now... it turns on a screensaver by default after 10 or 20 minutes, which means your DC client won't get all the cpu :(
There is a 'control panel' that you can use to tune the whole thing, but I'll step aside and let a guru step in here.
I only use init 3 so have very limited X interface time.
You could open one of them Xterms and type init 3 and be at a real 'command prompt' with no GUI anything, but then you would be stuck with no X anything and would have to learn unix commands, but your DC client would love it :D
Welcome to the 'dark side' :thumbs:

Isn't SuSE using KDE by default? If you are using KDE, there is the KDE control centre. There may be something in YaST.

Don't use SuSE anymore, or I'd poke around and find it.
