*fixed* Really tiny fonts problem

Hi there, i've been a happy archlinux user for quite some time but recently I have developed a problem that I can't find a solution to.

A few weeks ago I got myself a samsung HDTV to use as a monitor and now the fonts in my system behave really strangely. In gnome everything is fine, but GDM, FVWM-Crystal and XFCE4 have really, really tiny fonts. The fonts are so small that I can't even read them.

Can anyone suggest a fix? I tried "startx --dpi 100" but nothing changed.....

Thanks in advance!
