Unfortunately the dpi doesn't change when you switch modes, so which size should we use to calculate dpi ?By using interlace and multiplying up the horizontal timing, I can get my 1280x1024 CRT monitor to display a 2048x1536 picture - several pixels get averaged together, but for an overview of the virtual desktop that is fine. However it isn't comfortable for continuous use, so although I have a section like:
[...]
I don't know about X internals, what restrains X from calculating DPI once the mode is switched? Or perhaps the apps arer going to be somehow impacted?
I want X to calculate the dpi from the mode I use most (1280x1024).
So I wouldn't be any happier if the dpi was calculated from the largest Modes instead of the Virtual size.
