Before starting X with start x everything looks fine. But when I kill X the fonts doesn't go back to the same. And the whole resolution seems to be wrong (text and promt i going outside the screen at the bottom). How do I reset the settings to normal when i kill X?

Are you using a CRT or LCD? If LCD, could it be the monitor is not auto adjusting???
Offline
Using LCD, but I don't think that's the problem. I have tried manually auto-adjusting the screen and it didn't work.
It seems that the settings x-server sets remains after killing it, in other words they're not restored to normal properly. It happens whether I kill x by doing ctrl+alt+backspace or do it through the logout button (in openbox). There must be a way to automatically initialize the default settings stored in rc.conf?
Is there anyone else that have the same problem?

Try to change the console framebuffer size and see if that fixes the issue. Also, what happens when you access a virtual console from X? Same?

If you by "accessing a virtual console" mean ctrl+alt+(F1-F6) then thats the same after X have started.
And how do I change the framebuffer size after the computer have started? Isn't that only possible from the grub menu?
Thanks for trying to help.

Okej, I did get it somewhat wrong so I take it in steps.
First started up the computer and logged in as normal user. The font changed during the boot-process (changed to the font in rc.conf).
I then started X (startx).
Then changed (ctrl+alt+F5) and logged in as root (still console). The fonts seemed to be the same as before the change mentioned during the boot-process, except for the the text going outside the screen at the bottom.
I then did setfont, and the "resolution" problem got fixed. But still not the fonts original fonts.
I guess it could work if i passed some arguments to setfont, even though it isn't really a solution. How do I make it automatic? Or how do I make X only change the current console, and also reset it efter.

Yes, from menu.lst. Also, are you using a wide screen LCD monitor? Is it a laptop?

Problem solved
In rc.conf I changed back the consolefont to default, and now it works. It think it could have been because it had a smaller font-size than the default.
Anyway, thanks for the help, and for pointing me in the right direction.

Somehow I missed that you changed your console font settings to begin with, LOL. I have to lay off the cold medicine
