HI !!

I have the following issue , the fonts desplayed are very big for my screen resolution 1680x1050 and my laptop (asus z7100) has high cpu usage (basically when i'm not doing anything i can see the cpu between 3 - 10 %) .I 've installed the nvidia drivers using the pacman -S nvidia nvidia-utils .

Fore the font problem try adding Option "UseEdidDpi" "false" to your xorg.conf. I'm not sure that your DPI settings are taking effect.

thanks for the quick reply ! i've tried that and there are no changes . In ubuntu i didn't have this kind of problem , i remember using driver nvidia 177 and it was fine , For some reason in arch( nvidia 180) the cpu is like is "working" constantly (high cpu usage) and the fonts are really big for size 10 . Can anyone suggest a solution ?

my cpu usage is at 10% without doing anything . is it possible the powermizer of nvidia has something to do with it since it is a laptop ? I remember having the same problem with vista , my cpu usage was always high without doing anything .
Thanks for your help !
