Interesting.
using the same xorg.conf that I have used since fc6 or so, everything on the
screen is BIG.
It looks like the X11 driver is running at say 800x600 rather than 1280x1024,
and the <ctrl><alt> <+> or <-> stuff that used to work in fc6 to change size
(in the list of modes in the "Screen" section of xorg.conf) no longer works.

So how do I specify reasonable size text/ a reasonable 'mode' ?
