    Hello All,

    I've just installed Suse 9.1 Pro on a Dell latitude D505 Laptop. KDE and
    GNOME both start and run with a slight issue. The desktop environments
    are huge. The icons on the desktop are about 1.5 inches long. The menu
    and task bars are an inch high, and the windows are HUGE. Is there
    anything I can do to XFree86 to fix this (I assume that is where the
    issue is because both destop environments are that way)? I'm using the
    2.6 kernel, XFree86 4.3.99, GNOME 2.4, KDE 3.2, & BIOS A6.
    The install process for XFree86 detected my video card as Intel
    855 GM (i810), my monitor as unknown 15-31 kHz/ 30-61 Hz, resolutions
    640x480, and color depth as 16 bits.

    Thank you.

    Peter Rohrman
