I know this has been asked before but everything I have found on the subject either does not apply or does not work. I am trying to set my DPI under KDE in slackware 12.1 to 75. startx -- -dpi 75 works fine as expected. I have an intel video card. this is my xorg.conf:

I am still stuck at 96 dpi in KDE. I have set firefox to 75 dpi, which is good but I would like everything to be at 75dpi. This is Slackware 12.1 with the KDE that comes with it. Running at 1280 x 768 resolution on a very small screen (not sure of the exact size but looks to be about 9 or 10 inches) Thanks
