Framebuffer is an ATI FireGL (V3100 I think). According to the
Xorg.0.log file, the RADEON driver is used and the chipset is:
Chipset ATI FireGL M24 GL 3154 (PCIE) found
later in the file it looks like it sets up OK:
(II) RADEON(0): Output LVDS using initial mode 1600x1200
after xf86InitialConfiguration
(**) RADEON(0): Display dimensions: (305, 229) mm
(**) RADEON(0): DPI set to (133, 133)
but near the end I see:
(WW) RADEON(0): Option "UseEdidDPI" is not used
(WW) RADEON(0): Option "DPI" is not used
and
(II) Loading local sub module "GLcore"
(II) LoadModule: "GLcore"
(II) Loading /usr/X11/lib/modules/extensions//libGLcore.so
(II) Module GLcore: vendor="X.Org Foundation"
compiled for 1.3.0, module version = 1.0.0
ABI class: X.Org Server Extension, version 0.3
(II) GLX: Initialized MESA-PROXY GL provider for screen 0
(II) RADEON(0): Setting screen physical size to 423 x 317
and I end up with 96 dpi rather than the desired 133.
This is with a modified xorg.conf file with:
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Monitor0"
VendorName "IBM"
ModelName "FlexView 1600x1200"
DisplaySize 305 229
Option "UseEdidDPI" "false"
Option "DPI" "133x133"
EndSection
and the lines:
Option "NoDDC"
Identifier "Card0"
Driver "ati"
VendorName "ATI Technologies Inc"
BoardName "M24 1T [FireGL M24 GL]"
BusID "PCI:1:0:0"
in the Device Section.
Are there other methods of setting the dpi so fonts
are reasonable size in things like Firefox?
Thanks for your help,
