[mythtv-users] Mythbuntu 96dpi driving me mad

[Andréas Kühne]

I think I had the same issues as you are. All of the fonts in the GUI of
ubuntu were HUGE. What I eventually did was to use the nvidia-settings (I
think it was there) to change the magnification of the screen to a very
small amount. Thereby the GUI worked again. Don't know if that will help
you, but that was what I did.

Regards,

Andréas
