This is not very handy on my MacBook Pro 17" with high resolution

readable.
Unfortunately:
X11 does not set the resolution automatically (this would be best),
What should it set it to? As mentioned before, there is no correct
value for multi-monitor setups that have different dpi for each display.
nor does it offer a preference to let the user set it (a poor second
best).
Sure it does. It's the same preference available to you in every
other X11 environment. Edit the /usr/X11/bin/startx script and/or set
the values in ~/.Xresources. Search the mailing list for the info I
provided the last time this was brought up or if you cant find it, let
me know, and I'll try to dig it up and add it to the FAQ.
