You can put the xrandr command in your .xinitrc if you boot into text mode. I'm sure there's a place to put it for booting into GUI mode as well, though I'm not sure of the location. You can also play around with .Xdefaults--sometimes, setting dpi can help. For example, my yoga2 has, in .Xdefaults Xft.dpi:192 Which increases font size. -- Scott Robbins PGP keyID EB3467D6 ( 1B48 077D 66F6 9DB0 FDC2 A409 FA54 EB34 67D6 ) gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys EB3467D6
