https://sourceforge.net/p/q4os/tickets/44/attachment/a88x-lspci.txt is lcpci output.

Screenshot shows the welcome screen's text doesn't fit available space when DPI is used as a desktop scaler as in various other distros on which TDE runs. The welcome window isn't resizable, so whether the text might adapt to more space isn't determinable.

Special configuration not shown that is responsible for the adequate font sizes in the desktop generally as shown in screenshot:
1./usr/share/apps/q4os_system/share/q4_xresources line 3 has "!" prepended.
2./etc/X11/xorg.conf, which produces expected results in Debian Jessie and Stretch and openSUSE 42.1, is as follows:
Section "Device"
Identifier "Radeon"
Option "monitor-VGA-1" "analog" # Modeset analog
EndSection

Section "Monitor"
Identifier "analog"
DisplaySize 338 190 # 144 DPI @ 1920x1080
EndSection

Section "Screen"
Identifier "ScreenMain"
Device "Radeon"
Monitor "analog"
EndSection

Screenshot also shows other font size problems at best indirectly relevant to $SUMMARY:
1.start menu text doesn't fit available space.
2.VLC's text ignores desktop font settings altogether.

Not visible in screenshot, also at best indirectly relevant to $SUMMARY:
Greeter text ignores Xorg DPI entirely, producing text painfully tiny, and completely ignoring tdmrc font size settings.
