First time SXGA+ user suggestions needed

#1 Post by TomKroscavage » Wed Dec 02, 2009 9:55 am

I just upgraded my T43 to SXGA+. I have only ever used 1024X768 in the past. Do I just get use to the small font, or is their an XP Firefox setting I need to adjust?

Rightclick anywhere on the desktop, select Properties/Settings and adjust your screen resolution to 1400x1050 and click OK.
Windows takes care of the rest.

In Firefox go to Edit>Preferences>Content and you will see a setting for font size. You can also change the settings for Windows fonts, but I'm not running Windows right now and can't tell you exactly where to do so.
Collection = T500 - R400 - X300 - X200 - T61 (14" WXGA+) - T61 (14.1" SXGA+) - T60 (15" SXGA+) - X40 - T43p - T43 - T42p - A30P - 600E

To change the font size in windows xp, right click on the desktop and select properties.
In the display properties dialog, click the Settings tab, and then the Advanced button
On the General tab that should display, you'll see a drop-down for DPI setting. Change
this from the default of 96 to 120 and see if that's more what you're looking for. You can
also select a custom size from that drop-down as well if 120 isn't right for you.
