Hello. I doubt that I'm the first one to hit this, but I've been trying to figure out what happened for most of the day now and have drawn a complete blank with all the google searches that I could think of... Here's the situation: Installed RedHat 8 and started using the new environment. A little different, but no major issues. Once I got sorta "settled" with the environment it was time to start making things work on my notebook that didn't work with the stock kernel. Long story short, I downloaded the 2.4.19 source, applied the 2.4.19-ac4 patch and the acpi patch, built the new kernel, rebooted, and logged back into the machine. So far, so good. Started evolution again and it had forgotten my settings. This used to happen with the 4.x netscapes after a kernel upgrade too to some degree (you'd have to agree to the license stuff), but no big deal. Then, I started galeon and started to view sites... the fonts on almost every web page were taking up about 1/3 of the 1024x768 screen for the height of the characters. It seems to have affected everything because when I did a make xconfig, the tk buttons were so big that the entire window wouldn't fit on the display! The fonts for tk weren't huge, but they are in certain strange places. My question is does anyone have any idea why this might have happened? Seriously, I'm sorry if this is something that is obvious, but I've certainly missed it... It also doesn't make a difference if I subsequently boot with the original kernel. Basically, it has made the web browsers and tk very difficult to use on my system due to the monster fonts. Any suggestions or assistance would be most appreciated. Thanks in advance, ast
