[Desktop-packages] [Bug 8357] Re: Allow to set DPI resolution

A friend of mine got 1600x1200 as default resolution, which makes characters far too small to be readable. Instead of specifying a DPI number directly (which is somewhat abstract), there should be two rulers displayed; either the user measures them with a "hardware ruler" and enters the lengths of the displayed rulers (much like GIMP does), or there is a slider for each direction which scale the displayed rulers until they match the hardware ruler. http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=153634: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=153634 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gnome-control-center/+bug/8357/+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

The LTS version is here and this issue hasn't been fixed yet. Still no easy way to change the DPI. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-control-center in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/8357 Title: Allow to set DPI resolution Status in GNOME Control Center: Expired Status in “gnome-control-center” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: Computer -> System Configuration -> Screen Resolution should not only allow to set widht, height, and frequency, but also the physical resolution of the monitor.

It appears that as of Ubuntu 11.10 there is no longer ANY way to correct incorrectly detected DPI. This needs to be fixed rather urgently before 12.04 is released... -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-control-center in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/8357 Title: Allow to set DPI resolution Status in GNOME Control Center: Expired Status in “gnome-control-center” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: Computer -> System Configuration -> Screen Resolution should not only allow to set widht, height, and frequency, but also the physical resolution of the monitor.
