I have Linux Mandrake installed and everything on the display is HUGE! Changing the resolution doesn’t help and changing the font doesn’t help. It’s not desktop dependent, as it is the same on the login screen, KDE, GNOME, etc…
Where can I change the setting to make things regular size?
Help…

I’m a dummy. So sorry. It took me three weeks to figure out and only minutes after I posted this to think to reinstall the monitor.
Could a mod please close this?
Durrr…
