I have just completed my first Arch install. The problem is that when gdm pops up everything is huge. I suspect that it is the font making everything so big. I have my xorg.conf set for DefaultDepth 24 1200 x 7xx. I can't post mt xorg file here cause I'm on another computer. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Edit: Did this in the install: pacman -S ttf-ms-fonts ttf-dejavu ttf-bitstream-vera
Could any of these be the problem?
P.s I'm using the intel driver (Have 915)

What graphics card do you have and what graphics driver do you use?

I have intel 915. This is a laptop. The driver is just named intel.

I have the same chipset, and I was having problems with that driver, so I removed it and installed xf86-video-i810. It works fine, so I suggest you trying this, but, of course, you have to change "intel" driver in xorg.conf to "i810".:)

Solved! I changed the driver from intel to i810 as you said. Worked perfect. Thank you

You really shouldn't be using the i810 driver as it's discontinued as I understand it. You may want to check back with new versions of the "intel" driver.
The day Microsoft makes a product that doesn't suck, is the day they make a vacuum cleaner.

But if they tell you that I've lost my mind, maybe it's not gone just a little hard to find...

Sounds like DPI issues. See if this helps: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/DPI

The intel driver doesn't work properly with some older Intel cards. I have to use the i810 driver with my laptop.
