FWIW we've patched xorg-server in the distribution.

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 589485]
It dawned on me that a proposed replacement might lack such an, um, feature of hardwired 96 dpi. Now if that will be called progress I'll invest some time into finding those who arranged that and ruining their remnants of reputation. (creating and improving is vastly more important but the feeling of impunity results in *evil* things, unfortunately) Folks, hey let's just get this crap fixed, are you still listening to the community?

(In reply to comment #14) See also https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AsusZenbook#LCD Heh, UX31A I'm typing this at has 166 dpi. Those who forced the 96dpi kludge into xorg should be forced to walk in my shoes till the end of their lives with no chance to change those. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xorg-server in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/589485 Title: Ignores physical display size and calculates based on 96DPI To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/xorg-server/+bug/589485/+subscriptions ___ 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

(In reply to comment #16) See http://pastebin.com/vtzyBK6e for #xorg-devel discussion about this. Some comments: ohsix not a lot of people are bothered, since getting the per display dpi right is a hard problem, even if you can set it for one single monitor in particular, 'fixed' is handling some difference in dpi across displays, which doesn't happen in the toolkits or anything Wrong. *I* am bothered, and *I* operate a few dual-monitor setup including those with different display DPI. That ohsix windows migrant would have a hard time telling me that forcing DPI to a semi-arbitrary value to follow the obsolete windows suit is right (and that it is worth breaking what used to work since last century). ohsix maybe you misunderstood me, i was telling you what's expected to do it By whom? Those who smoked windows crack and a gazillion of tray notifiers? Thanks but no thanks. I've seen enough weird video hardware (e.g. Acer V550 monitors reported those funny EDID values) but those are rather *exceptions* to be handled, and one can even automate that -- if a display has DPI less than e.g. 30 or higher than e.g. 300 (as of today) then it might be treated as a reason to fall back to default (96 is ok here) since those who operate special cases *can* be expected to know their ways around hi-res displays or display walls. ohsix any cobbled together thing where nobody really cares is going to miss details like that This bastard should not continue to erode free software. *He* doesn't care. Seems that Red Hat has hired too many dumb morons who took their windows habits and attitude there, see also http://people.freedesktop.org/~cbrill/dri-log/?channel=dri- develdate=2012-12-13 /fedora -- and recall the F12 PackageKit saga of Richard Hughes fame: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=534047#c9 PS: just in case, I'm using and developing free software since 1998 and have done numerous migrations for people and companies. I know that care *is* crucial. Good luck to Xorg team with preserving that. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xorg-server in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/589485 Title: Ignores physical display size and calculates based on 96DPI To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/xorg-server/+bug/589485/+subscriptions ___ 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

(In reply to comment #20) It was chosen in order to make display of web pages using Xorg more consistent with the way they get displayed on Windows, which by default assumes 96.

May the so called developers with I know better attitude be treated by physicists with the same attitude! They broke the thing for BUG compatibility with an obsolete piece of crap for a single use case already handled in corresponding application (a web browser), they told us to go sink in the mailing lists and now they are too busy to at least accept the knob.
