[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 80940] Re: ati radeon driver does not autodetect displaysize on Latitude D600, therefore uses wrong resolution
It seems that original issue is replaced with a new problem - #589485 Xorg ignores screen size and sets DPI to 96. Everyone, who's hit by 96DPI, please, move to #589485 and also add Your mee too to http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=23705 as there are no plans to fix this issue because now it's a FEATURE! ** Bug watch added: freedesktop.org Bugzilla #23705 http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=23705 -- ati radeon driver does not autodetect displaysize on Latitude D600, therefore uses wrong resolution https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/80940 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xorg-server in ubuntu. ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 201032] Re: DPI not set or incorrectly set to 96
It's not a bug - it's a FEATURE! See more: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=23705 Since xorg 1.7 it lies about Your screens DPI (unless You use NVIDIA closed drivers). Because Microsoft Windows up to Vista defaulted to 96dpi, now also X servers default to 96dpi no mater what screen size You have. Lucky for You, You can't override this feature in Your xorg.conf file. Only option - get correct screen size settings in mm and add xrandr --fbmm WxH to Your .xsessionrc or set DisplaySize at Section Monitor in Your xorg.conf. Be ware, that xdpyinfo also lies about Your screen size! If You use nouveau driver, it reports correct screen size and DPI in xorg.log and then this information gets ignored. Check Your screen dimensions with plain' ol' ruler to find out correct screen size. Don't forget to inform Xorg dev's how You *love* this new feature! Correct settings for Dell Latitude E6500 with 1440*900 screen are: dimensions:1440x900 pixels (333x212 millimeters) resolution:110x108 dots per inch ** Bug watch added: freedesktop.org Bugzilla #23705 http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=23705 -- DPI not set or incorrectly set to 96 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/201032 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xorg in ubuntu. ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
