Public bug reported: Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-nouveau
With the nouveau driver, my screen is forced to 96 DPI (as reported by ‘xdpyinfo | grep resolution’), and fonts look too small. This did not happen with the binary nvidia driver, which correctly detects my 129×127 DPI display. >From /var/log/Xorg.0.log, it seems that the driver is detecting the correct panel size from EDID, but overriding it with a size computed from 96 DPI for no apparent reason: [ 11339.840] (II) NOUVEAU(0): EDID for output LVDS-1 [ 11339.840] (II) NOUVEAU(0): Manufacturer: LPL Model: 1479 Serial#: 0 [ 11339.840] (II) NOUVEAU(0): Year: 2005 Week: 0 [ 11339.840] (II) NOUVEAU(0): EDID Version: 1.2 [ 11339.840] (II) NOUVEAU(0): Digital Display Input [ 11339.840] (II) NOUVEAU(0): Max Image Size [cm]: horiz.: 33 vert.: 21 [ 11339.840] (II) NOUVEAU(0): Gamma: 2.20 … [ 11340.081] (**) NOUVEAU(0): Display dimensions: (330, 210) mm [ 11340.081] (**) NOUVEAU(0): DPI set to (129, 127) [ 11340.081] (II) Loading sub module "fb" … [ 11340.201] (II) GLX: Initialized DRISWRAST GL provider for screen 0 [ 11340.201] (II) NOUVEAU(0): Setting screen physical size to 444 x 277 [ 11340.201] resize called 1680 1050 ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 10.10 Package: xserver-xorg-video-nouveau 1:0.0.16+git20100518+4b8f1a0-0ubuntu1 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 2.6.35-6.8-generic 2.6.35-rc3 Uname: Linux 2.6.35-6-generic x86_64 NonfreeKernelModules: openafs wl Architecture: amd64 DRM.card0.LVDS.1: status: connected enabled: enabled dpms: On modes: 1680x1050 1680x1050 1400x1050 1280x1024 1280x960 1152x864 1024x768 800x600 640x480 720x400 640x400 640x350 edid-base64: AP///////wAyDHkUAAAAAAAPAQKAIRV4ChlFl1hTiygkUFQAAAABAQEBAQEBAQEBAQEBAQEBqC+Q4GAaEEAgQBMAS88QAAAZAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA/gBMR1BoaWxpcHNMQ0QKAAAA/gBMUDE1NFcwMi1UTDA5AJU= DRM.card0.VGA.1: status: disconnected enabled: disabled dpms: Off modes: edid-base64: Date: Wed Jun 30 16:04:20 2010 EcryptfsInUse: Yes InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 9.10 "Karmic Koala" - Release Candidate amd64 (20091020.3) MachineType: LENOVO 0768AJU PccardctlIdent: Socket 0: no product info available PccardctlStatus: Socket 0: no card ProcCmdLine: BOOT_IMAGE=/vmlinuz-2.6.35-6-generic root=/dev/mapper/btree-ubuntu ro i8042.reset cgroup_disable=memory apparmor=0 crashkernel=384M-2G:64M,2G-:128M quiet splash ProcEnviron: PATH=(custom, user) LANG=en_US.utf8 SHELL=/bin/bash SourcePackage: xserver-xorg-video-nouveau dmi.bios.date: 06/04/07 dmi.bios.vendor: LENOVO dmi.bios.version: 61ET37WW dmi.board.name: CAPELL VALLEY(NAPA) CRB dmi.board.vendor: LENOVO dmi.board.version: Not Applicable dmi.chassis.type: 10 dmi.chassis.vendor: No Enclosure dmi.chassis.version: N/A dmi.modalias: dmi:bvnLENOVO:bvr61ET37WW:bd06/04/07:svnLENOVO:pn0768AJU:pvr3000N100:rvnLENOVO:rnCAPELLVALLEY(NAPA)CRB:rvrNotApplicable:cvnNoEnclosure:ct10:cvrN/A: dmi.product.name: 0768AJU dmi.product.version: 3000 N100 dmi.sys.vendor: LENOVO make.log: DKMS make.log for openafs-1.5.74.1 for kernel 2.6.31-11-rt (x86_64) Wed Jun 30 13:05:38 EDT 2010 system: distro: Ubuntu codename: maverick architecture: x86_64 kernel: 2.6.35-6-generic ** Affects: xserver-xorg-video-nouveau (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: amd64 apport-bug maverick -- nouveau forces screen to 96 DPI https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/600374 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-nouveau 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
