Bug Description

After booting the live CD, and clicking on the "K" in the lower left corner, all menu items (system, utilities, multimedia, etc.) have giant letters (the words are huge) making the desktop unusable. The only way out is pressing CTRL-ALT-DEL and even then, the options and click buttons (Cancel, Restart, etc.) are very large.

I'm using a Toshiba Satellite laptop model M45-S355 with 2GB memory.

Below is the output of "lspci"

I tested this CD on an HP Pavilion zt1180 laptop and the menus looked normal. This must be a problem
with a specific video card/chip set. The 'lspci' command shows that the Pavilion has an S3 ProSavage video controller.
