We'll use this bug to track issues with font rendering, DPI settings, GNOME/KDE font interop, etc.

Hi Dev-Team,

I found a small bug in openSUSE 11.

The fonts of the kdm greeter were to big on my thinkpad (1920x1200), so I tried to force a resolution of 96 dpi using DISPLAYMANAGER_KDM_LOCALARGS="-dpi 96" in 
/etc/sysconfig/displaymanager. I started kdm with debug flag 0x2 and verified the serverflags in /var/log/messages. -> no dpi settings.

Then I added ServerArgsLocal=-dpi 96 to /opt/kde3/share/config/kdm/kdmrc and tested again -> success

I looks, as if kdm doesn't honor all settings in /etc/sysconfig/displaymanager.

Regards,
Patrick
