This is just wicked, xdpyinfo says: dimensions: 1440x900 pixels (381x238 millimeters) resolution: 96x96 dots per inch xrandr says: LVDS connected 1440x900+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 304mm x 190mm Of course xrandr is right, that's the values supplied by the screen. I suspect xdpyinfo just takes the pixel dimensions and resolutions and calculates the screen dimensions: 25.4 * 1440 / 96 = 381 Or the intel driver does it. But why should xrandr show the correct values? After running "xrandr --dpi 120" xdpyinfo shows the correct values. -- A: Because it fouls the order in which people normally read text.
