OK, I switched to 1280x960 and noticed something weird. Here is the xdpyinfo for both resolutions. 1280x1024: screen #0: print screen: no dimensions: 1280x1024 pixels (339x271 millimeters) resolution: 96x96 dots per inch depths (7): 24, 1, 4, 8, 15, 16, 32 1280x960: screen #0: print screen: no dimensions: 1280x960 pixels (339x271 millimeters) resolution: 96x90 dots per inch depths (7): 24, 1, 4, 8, 15, 16, 32 Why is the dpi hosed when it is at 1280x960?
