Thanks, I'll check them out. Yes I am using Gnome, but not sure what
ally is. I don't currently use any special devices. For me its more
of a screen resolution issue. Things simply don't work well under
800x600 resolution, like Evolution, and there's so much tinkering I have
to do with fonts all over the place when I leave it at 1024x768. Not my
desired resolution.

In my ignorance, I have a question: wouldn't it better for you a larger resolution on a big, flat monitor, and then telling the system to use big fonts, or big everything, somehow?

I know that an 800x600 resolution yields big fonts and windows, simply because the programs seem to use the same number of pixels, and they overflow the available space, sometimes without a slider to display everything; but wouldn't it be better a bigger display? Perhaps the problem is that big enough displays are too expensive.
