I went into the X86Config file and evidently the screen size dimensions 
even though it said inches went into a metric table and that is why the 
font was soo huge, ran Xautoconfig again and it is fine. I am going to 
put in an old ATI video card tonight and try that, this 8 bit color is 
nasty. My next undertaking is to try and get my Sonnet G3 card to work 
with this thing, it is soo slow now that I would be better off running 
OSX, any insight on this endeavor would be appreciated. Thanks
