Tcl70, my Samsung LNA650 HDTV also shows huge fonts, for some applications but not others. This TV also reports a ridiculous size. The fix is to tell X to ignore the bogus EDID from the television.
I found this to work, at least with my nvidia graphics card: Section "Monitor" Identifier "Samsung" # LNA650 # from Samsung manual, for 1920x1080p: # HorizSync 67.500 # VertRefresh 60.000 # http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Specifying_DPI_for_NVIDIA_Cards Option "UseEdidDpi" "FALSE" Option "DPI" "100 x 100" EndSection -- HUGE Logon Font https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/120480 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xorg-server 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
