[mythtv-users] LightWeight Window Manager & fonts

[Jim herold]

Found the answer.  It was the DPI, but the EDID wasn't allowing me to 
over-ride it with the DisplaySize option.  I had to add this to my 
xorg.conf to allow the DisplaySize option to work:

Option "UseEDIDDpi" "FALSE"

Thanks for all the help guys!
