Hi, xserver-xorg 1.7 has changed the default setting for screen DPI: it is now faking a fixed 96DPI resolution for every screen [0] I consider this a bad choice and I've been vocal about it, but I don't see a change coming. Now I was wondering if debian-eee should do something about it - e.g. set the proper resolution in /etc/X11/Xsession.d/
On the one hand, I feel that on a screen ad 135DPI reading fonts rendered at 96DPI is very hard, and could spoil the smooth experience one would like to have installing Debian. On the other hand, I see three problems: - automatically setting the proper resolution could be tricky. - it doesn't really belong to Debian-eee, it's a problem for every computer with a high resolution display. - doing tricks to revert an upstream choice is terribly bad. I write this post more to have some feedback about your feeling with the new X behaviour and discuss about long term solutions then to propose a stopgap fix - I'm not convinced the latter would be a good choice. I thought this list would be a good place since all the Eees have very high screen resolutions.
