Why is it that with just about every Linux distro known to mankind, as
soon as I set the display to the correct resolution, all the text
becomes ABSOLUTELY HUGE?
I mean, like, the letters are about 12mm tall on my screen.
Sure, for a high-resolution display, you want slightly bigger text so
it's still readable (and the extra resolution gets towards making the
letters look more crisp). But I don't need the next 8x bigger!
Does anybody know how the heck you alter this? I've searched all around
the various KDE menus and can't find it.
Also, how do you change keymap?

Well, that was easy. Although it appears Ubuntu gets it right by default
anyway. Which is odd, considering it's based on Debian which gets it wrong.
Alternatively, maybe it's that GNOME gets it right and KDE doesn't? I'll
do some further testing...

DPI setting is usually what throws it off for me - like between my
desktop monitor and my laptop screen - when I dock the laptop, the DPI is
detected differently.

In KDE I don't; if you're using openSUSE, though, a question in the
openSUSE forums would probably get you a quick answer.

That's in the user preferences IIRC - again, not a KDE user myself, so I
don't know off the top of my head, but I'd refer you to
forums.opensuse.org as a place you could get a quick answer.

Why do you think so many Debian devotees hate Ubuntu so much? Yes, sensible
options and defaults to common people go a long way toward hatred from
technical-minded folks...

it's still pretty readable in real, command-line Linux terminal. :)

Nope, on investigation, it appears Debian gets it right as well.
It's really looking like this is a KDE problem. I've tried GNOME with
every distro I've got, and it works. But KNOPPIX (which uses KDE) gets
it wrong...

Heh, one guy at my work has just different problem - when he plugs the
computer to the TV (which has higher resolution than the monitor), all
texts become incredibly small. I actually had the same problem with my
HTPC on Nvidia-settings (I just managed to walk through the setting, get
it work and live on - I don't have the problem on watching video clips,
which the video output on that computer exists after all).
