Hello Jon,Yes, most content in windows and be zoom'd and I've been able to work with it, but it's the window decorations and controls that are almost unreadable.
I had gone through the man pages and tried many things suggested in them. But I must be doing it wrong, or in the wrong place.
As another test, from my cygwin64 home directory, I used: startxwin -- -dpi 500 Similar to the example given in http://xfree86.cygwin.com/docs/man1/startxwin.1.html In the log I found: [ XWin was started with the following command line:[ /usr/bin/XWin :0 -multiwindow -dpi 500 -auth /home/Higgins/.serverauth.10276
[ ddxProcessArgument - Initializing default screens [ winInitializeScreenDefaults - primary monitor w 3200 h 1800 [ winInitializeScreenDefaults - native DPI x 240 y 240 [ [ 45339.640] (II) xorg.conf is not supported[ [ 45339.640] (II) See http://x.cygwin.com/docs/faq/cygwin-x-faq.html [ for more information
[ [ 45339.640] LoadPreferences: /home/Higgins/.XWinrc not found [ [ 45339.640] LoadPreferences: Loading /etc/X11/system.XWinrc Then again I tried: startxwin -- -screen 0 3200x1800@1 and the log output is attached .. Thank you ---rob--- On 2016-07-22 9:25 AM, Jon Turney wrote:

My laptop under Windows has recommended resolution set at 3200 x 1800 CygwinX X Windows are much to small, and barely readable.I guess this means that e.g. xterm font is too small, and so a 80x24 character window is small?Can anyone just tell me where to look, or what to specify?To answer the specific question, you can specify the a display resolution using the '-dpi' option. The "configuration" chapter of the user guide [1] points to "man XWin" [2], which in turn points to "man Xserver" [3] for general server options, including that one.
