Does anyone know if there'll be a CDEV or something to allow you to tell the system the resolution of your monitor? I hear lots of complaints that there are too many dpi on certain screens, thereby rendering type too small to read comfortably at normal point sizes. Outline fonts should fix this, if the system can know the display resolution for each display. On multisyncs, etc, the display board may not know the physical size of the screen it's displaying to, even though it knows how many pixels it's putting out to it. I'd hope that "dedicated" board/monitor combos would automatically provide this info to the OS. I hate "12-point" type that's only 1/10th inch high. Scott Bayes
