How to recover DPI in Gnome and Ubuntu Gutsy

Everytime I boot up my laptop with Ubuntu Gutsy Gibbon, it just like a bet, fail safe or not? Since I am using fglrx and I also installed it through module-assistant, I have to manage it myself to rebuild after updating kernel. However, last week I saw something more terrible. In fact, it is the most terrible since I used Ubuntu for 2 years. I was unable to see any characters in Gnome terminal. I guessed the problem should be DPI so I tried to change setting. Unfortunately, all Gnome dialog seemed to be broken. They were so long about 10 times of my screen.

Goodbye Siemens CX65, Welcome Sony Ericsson W810i

I have been used Siemens CX65 since 3 years ago. The last mention is about accessing to the inside data on Ubuntu Edgy. Anyway, it has served me so well but it also turns out that its joystick has gone due to unknown exact reason. In addition, it sometimes shutdown itself without any notification. As a result, I missed so many calls. That's why I have to find a new mobile phone. Today is the day. I bought a Sony Ericsson W810i.
