(In reply to comment #55) > Please use the correct dpi by default. If it doesn't, it's usually:
1-your distro's fault, or 2-your hardware's fault, or 3-your use of unequal DPI multiple displays, which is a complicated problem for X to deal with X automagic configuration will fall back to 96 if there's a problem with your hardware supplying the info automagic needs to work, while many distros force 96, in part because it makes web browsers behave like Windows on a not insignificant number of web sites, and in another part because DTEs are behind the development curve on adapting fonts, icons and initial window sizes to high DPI displays. Resolution independence is needed, but not available, either from most web sites, or most DTE components. OTOH, as long as you're sticking to one display, you can force correct DPI via xrandr, xorg.conf.d/, xorg.conf, xinitrc, proprietary nvidia driver and/or several other documented ways if bothered by inaccurate automagic or distro forcing. If your distro maker is forcing 96, complain to it. Just because xorg.conf is not used by default does not mean you cannot use it to enjoy accurate DPI. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/521877 Title: [gm45] wrong screen size detected on X200s To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+bug/521877/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
