So dpi is set to 75 instead of 125. This results in fonts that almost half as wide and height as it should be. Using DisplaySize in Monitor section of xorg.conf fixes it, but that's not autodetection (as works perfect with i810 on other laptops) $ grep DisplaySize /etc/X11/xorg.conf DisplaySize 286 214 $ xdpyinfo | egrep 'dimens|resolu' dimensions: 1400x1050 pixels (287x215 millimeters) resolution: 124x124 dots per inch To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/xorg-server/+bug/80940/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
