Public bug reported:
System: Kubuntu 9.04 Relevant package versions: - xorg: 1:7.4~5ubuntu18 - nvidia-glx-180: 180.44-0ubuntu1 The NVidia driver (or maybe Xorg, don't know which?) calculates an incorrect DPI for the Samsung T220HD LCD monitor, leading to comically large font sizes. Screenshot attached. xdpyinfo shows the incorrect DPI resulting from incorrect monitor dimensions. The correct dimensions are more like 470 x 350 mm: screen #0: dimensions: 1680x1050 pixels (160x90 millimeters) resolution: 267x296 dots per inch And Xorg.0.log showing that it was calculated: (II) NVIDIA(0): Validated modes: (II) NVIDIA(0): "nvidia-auto-select" (II) NVIDIA(0): Virtual screen size determined to be 1680 x 1050 (--) NVIDIA(0): DPI set to (266, 296); computed from "UseEdidDpi" X config (--) NVIDIA(0): option I have worked around the issue by specifying the DPI in xorg.conf: Option "UseEdidDpi" "false" Option "DPI" "96 x 96" ** Affects: ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Incorrectly-calculated DPI for Samsung T220HD https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/370202 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
