Please try to apply your tweak on Porteus-XFCE ISO and let us know if that worked for you :)

Thanks for sharing!

I can confirm that it fixes this issue in XFCE.

I think fanthom beat you to it -- he's applied it to the 64-bit nVidia driver for rc1 already (working fine for me).

hadn't checked 32-bit yet. The fix is already present there in the 1.2rc1 driver as well :)

all drivers were bumped (1.1 and 1.2 rc1) once i got confirmation that fix is working correctly.
Please add [Solved] to your thread title if the solution was found.

Hazma, Brokenman, Fanthom, Ahau

I just gotta say, You are some of the most timely and easy to get along with Dev's. I think there were two major reasons which kept me using Porteus (I usually distro hop to find something that is worth sticking with) 1) You guys rock and are easy to get along with. 2) Porteus is the best damn distribution I have ever used, or at least my vision of what it could be is perfection ;)

found an issue with the fix that was applied -- everything is fine if I boot as normal, but if I boot with autoexec=xconf, xconf will overwrite /etc/X11/xorg.conf without the UseEdidDPI and DPI lines, so the font goes back to being too large. Just had to copy those lines and put the modified xorg.conf in my rootcopy (and not run xconf again) to fix. I'm guessing this would take modifications to xconf to resolve...
