I found the values in the log. Opening up applications leads to crazy display sizes, and I saw this: 2018-09-11 20:54:07,844 client @18.265 Xpra X11 server version 2.3.2-r19729 64-b it 2018-09-11 20:54:07,845 client @18.266 running on Linux Ubuntu 18.10 cosmic 2018-09-11 20:54:07,849 DPI set to 17 x 21 (wanted 72 x 72) 2018-09-11 20:54:07,849 you may experience scaling problems, such as huge or sm all fonts, etc 2018-09-11 20:54:07,849 to fix this issue, try the dpi switch, or use a patched Xorg dummy driver > > My impression from reading old trouble tickets is that I need to > > install a patched version of the Xdummy stuff but I'm not exactly > > sure.

I presume I can use the Ubuntu source package to do this? Is there a chance of contributing these patches upstream? It would help. And can I install the patched Xdummy somewhere non-standard and point xpra at it? I imagine that something in /etc/xpra/* will let me do that but I don't know how. > As the Ubuntu 18.10 release nears, we will start pushing packages > to the beta repository, this will include the patched dummy driver. > Until then, you will need to compile the driver yourself or use > another workaround.
