Package: gdm Version: 2.8.0.6-2 Followup-For: Bug #339707
Even if gnome messes around with the DPI (wrongly!), this is no reason to do it in gdm as well. You can change the gnome dpi setting at runtime, but you cannot do this with the changed gdm setting, since xdpyinfo will stick to that dpi setting. Applications relying on proper dpi information are doomed to failed and the user is bound to edit config files. Heck, even the explicit configuration of the monitor size in the xorg.conf file gets clobbered. If you need to work around broken autodetection of the display size from the x-server, do it by hardcoding a display size for the x-server in the xorg.conf (DisplaySize keyword in the Monitor section). This is the place where someone would look for that setting. GDM must not mess with this. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.12.2 Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages gdm depends on: [...] ii xlibs 6.9.0.dfsg.1-4 X Window System client libraries m -- debconf information: gdm/daemon_name: /usr/bin/gdm * shared/default-x-display-manager: gdm -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
