Neomagic small font problem

Dear User,

I have a gateway solo 5150 with neomagic  MagicMedia 256AV (NM2200)
chipset. A 1024x786 screen.

After being a very happy RH6.2 user for a long time I reluctantly
upgraded to Rh7.3

This 'upgrade' resulted in a number of problems but the most frustrating
is a font problem in gv, netscape and a number of other application (such
as my own tcl/tk scripts). Everything comes out microscopically small.

A previous message to this I saw someone had noted the same problem.
I see ( in /var/log/XFree86.0.log)

(--) NEOMAGIC(0): Display dimensions: (2550, 2550) mm
(--) NEOMAGIC(0): DPI set to (10, 7)

Which is apperantly wrong (i am not a X guru).
It was mentioned that this can be fixed by setting `gdmconfig to
initialize the X server to -dpi 75'.

I have KDE installed so I am running kdm. Does anyone know how to
implement this fix ? (where do I set -dpi 75 ?). Is there another
solution ?

Much appreciated

Gertjan
