# Set KDM’s font DPI on openSUSE

*2011-06-13*

> Fix oversized fonts on the KDM login screen in openSUSE by setting a custom DPI through DISPLAYMANAGER_KDM_LOCALARGS.

If the fonts on your KDM login screen are too large, for example after connecting an external monitor, edit `/etc/sysconfig/displaymanager` as root. Add `-dpi <value>` to the existing value of `DISPLAYMANAGER_KDM_LOCALARGS`, replacing `<value>` with the desired DPI.

For example, to use 75 DPI:

```sh
DISPLAYMANAGER_KDM_LOCALARGS="-dpi 75"
```

After saving the file, restart KDM as root:

```sh
rcxdm restart
```
