The LTS version is here and this issue hasn't been fixed yet.

[Bug 8357] Re: Allow to set DPI resolution
It appears that as of Ubuntu 11.10 there is no longer ANY way to correct incorrectly detected DPI.

[Bug 8357] Re: Allow to set DPI resolution
Can we please set this bug to a different priority than wishlist? It might be just a missing feature in gnome-control-center, but it causes bugs in other applications which then (probably rightly) blame gnome- control-center for providing wrong dpi values (e.g. bug 387462). I think this whole dpi issue should really be bumped up a bit in priority. -- Allow to set DPI resolution https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/8357 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 8357] Re: Allow to set DPI resolution
I'd second that. This is a major usability concern. Especially since I've turned up my dpi, and the monospace font size in firefox, and the text in this box still clocks in at roughly 2 mm per line. I don't know if maybe a more general 'provide general-purpose method to set minimum font size based on screen size' bug might be needed. With older CRT monitors this happens all the time. -- Allow to set DPI resolution https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/8357 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 8357] Re: Allow to set DPI resolution
Idea from post by Nikolaus Rath . Why don't we ask the user to verify/input the detected physical size of the screen at installation and automatically select a good DPI based on that and the screen resolution? The configuration options for and changing the physical size of the screen and DPI should still be easier to find though. -- Allow to set DPI resolution https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/8357 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 8357] Re: Allow to set DPI resolution
Actually, it is possible to have X11 autodetect the DPI of the screen. Just run the command: xdpyinfo | grep resolution and you will get the correct DPI value for the monitor X is running on. I think that autodetection is a better mechanism than adding a new setting somewhere. I just filed a bug on this in the Gnome bugzilla today, and am going to add that bug to the upstream bug list; if anyone disagrees with that decision, feel free to change it :-) -- Allow to set DPI resolution https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/8357 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 8357] Re: Allow to set DPI resolution
Apparently I can't file the upstream bug because one is already set.
