Public bug reported: The X server, starting with 1.7, ignores the physical size reported by the EDID or in xorg.conf and calculates it based on screen resolution and a DPI of 96.
This is rather annoying for users of high DPI screens. GNOME and KDE (used?) to set 96 DPI by default in their settings. We should check whether they still do, and if so let them handle this; I don't think X should be handling this. ** Affects: xorg-server Importance: Unknown Status: Unknown ** Affects: xorg-server (Ubuntu) Importance: Low Status: Incomplete ** Changed in: xorg-server (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete ** Changed in: xorg-server (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Low ** Bug watch added: freedesktop.org Bugzilla #23705 http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=23705 ** Also affects: xorg-server via http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=23705 Importance: Unknown Status: Unknown -- Ignores physical display size and calculates based on 96DPI https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/589485 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
