Public bug reported: The following happens on a Dell D830 laptop with the nVidia Quadro 140:
After installing Hardy Release candidate, the login screen fonts for entering the username and password looks fine. Then, I downloaded the nvidia-glx-new package to make use of accelerated 3D. After rebooting the machine, the font in the password box is extremely big. At first, this seemed to be a duplicate of some other bugs reported here, but changing the xorg.conf did not actually help the problem. After reverting to the nv drivers and reconfiguring X, everything was back to normal. Maybe it is worth mentioning the system 15" screen has a resolution of 1680x1050, so its probably related to the high DPI? Hardy had all updates applied as of the time of writing. ** Affects: ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Font size on login screen is too big with nvidia-glx-new https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/219950 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
