Summary: provide tool to set dpi for kdm
Product: Ubuntu
Version: unspecified
Platform: All
OS/Version: other
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: kdm

Xorg sometimes gets the dpi wrong (defaults to 75 on a laptop display that's at
least 96 dpi, for example). While it's possible to set the dpi manually, Kubuntu
should provide a simple control-center module to set the dpi at the kdm level,
using kdmrc:
/etc/kde3/kdm/kdmrc:
ServerArgsLocal=-nolisten tcp -dpi 100
The Kubuntu tool should also display the current X resolution - available via:
xdpyinfo | grep resolution
resolution: 75x75 dots per inch
Users should be encouraged to use 75 dpi or 100 dpi, whichever is more
appropriate, since fonts for those values need not be scaled.
The Kubuntu tool should also set the gtk configuration to use the same dpi
value, so that gtk applications use the same dpi value as the rest of X. I'm not
sure how this is done, but the gnome-control-center > fonts > details UI seems
to manage that information for gnome.
