I'd like to point out something here that a lot of people, particularly those with Windows backgrounds, don't realize. Higher resolution in X doesn't have to mean smaller fonts. By properly setting you DPI in your X configuration (many monitors report their size automagically, saving you the trouble) a 12pt font is a 12pt font regardless of resolution. Now, granted, graphics and whatnot are still going to be smaller on a high-res display, as are some bitmapped fonts, but for the most part, higher resolution just means greater clarity. -Cliff L.
