[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

I can confirm this bug too Using Dell Latitude E6400 14.1, 1440*900, intel drivers, Kubuntu 10.04 DPI shoud be about 120 Wrong Monitor dimensions detected. $ xdpyinfo | grep dimensions dimensions:1440x900 pixels (381x238 millimeters) shoud be about 306x190 millimeters. I have to manually set it: $ xrandr --dpi 120 -- 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

I confirm the bug on kubuntu with intel graphics. On a DELL E6500 with a 1920x1080 15 screen. DPI should be 100 but is set at 96. karmic was managing resolution just right on this machine -- 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
[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 201032] Re: DPI not set or incorrectly set to 96
These LPL monitors are known for having busted EDID values, I recall a number of quirks for them was added to the xserver. However since you're using kernel modesetting, I think maybe some of those quirks did not get ported over to the kernel, thus you're seeing the regression. IIRC, at one point seb128 added an override to force dpi to 96x96 in GNOME, which is why it started working. Anyway, now that this code is in the kernel, I'm reassigning to linux. They can check if your quirk has been included in the kernel now. Kiri, unless you have the same LPL monitor as in the original report, you should be filing a separate bug report. ** Package changed: xorg-server (Ubuntu) = linux (Ubuntu) ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed = New -- 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
[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 201032] Re: DPI not set or incorrectly set to 96
I have the same or related manufacturer (LG) of the LCD and graphics card. The DPI being set is different. I notice now, his is not 96x96. Are you saying GNOME desktop detects something and sets DPI to 96 and this may be why ogc has a different DPI and I have 96? Do you still think a separate bug is more suitable? -- 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
[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 201032] Re: DPI not set or incorrectly set to 96
Hi ogc, Please be sure to confirm this issue exists with the latest development release of Ubuntu. ISO CD images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/karmic . If the issue remains, please run the following command from a Terminal (Applications-Accessories-Terminal). It will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report. apport-collect -p linux 201032 Also, if you could test the latest upstream kernel available that would be great. It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please remove the 'needs-upstream- testing' tag. This can be done by clicking on the yellow pencil icon next to the tag located at the bottom of the bug description and deleting the 'needs-upstream-testing' text. Please let us know your results. Thanks in advance. [This is an automated message. Apologies if it has reached you inappropriately; please just reply to this message indicating so.] ** Tags added: needs-kernel-logs ** Tags added: needs-upstream-testing ** Tags added: kj-triage ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: New = Incomplete -- 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
