Re: Certain font sizes can't be configured permanently

[Carl-Valentin Schmitt <cv schmitt gmail com>]

You have Ubuntu, right !?

Well it is a Bit risky.

Could Happen you have then to reconfigure gdm.

Get informed about how to adjust gdm as

booting main graphical Manager in Ubuntu Forum.

When Monitor ist really "crazy new" (=without driver)

Then you don't need to reinstall gnome and gdm with sudo apt-get.

I simply then would be patient and wait some months

for driver. You might ask at Ubuntu.

Are you serious? I don't want to toast my system. Is this safe?

That "Gnome" in the apt-get command should be "gnome", shouldn't it?
