Yea, I try to state which rig I'm talking about when giving info. It is confusing for me to at times and if I'm confused, well, my messages will be too. After all, I have new rig, main rig, NAS-1 and NAS-2. It's a lot to keep up with even for me. I looked everywhere in KDE and even found and disabled some scale and zoom features but it didn't change the screen at all. When it first started tho, that is what it looked like. It was like looking through binoculars or something. It also looked like I was seeing one part of a four monitor screen. It's also why I asked if setting the DPI could give a hint about another setting that could also fix the issue. I've never had to set DPI before. I find it very odd. It fixes it but could another more common option also fix it. It's almost supper time. Nothing cooked and no idea what I want. Two deep freezers with food, lots of ammo cans with other food, stuff in fridge and all, still can't make up my mind on what to eat. :/ I got plenty of basil to spice up things tho. Dang I got a LOT of basil. We going to get this all sorted out tho and then the new rig will become main rig. That should lead to more confusion. ROFL Dale :-) :-)
