According to the data that the monitor itself reports as its capabilities in EDID, the monitor has a 17.7" diagonal measurement (calculate it yourself):
(II) intel(0): Supported detailed timing: (II) intel(0): clock: 157.5 MHz Image Size: 350 x 262 mm It seems your monitor manufacturer's engineers report different numbers than the marketing department does. Anyway, X seems to be reporting the data accurately, as it should. Perhaps gnome-control-center needs to be less accurate and more like that marketing department. ;-) ** Summary changed: - wrong monitor detected + wrong monitor dimension shown ** Package changed: xorg (Ubuntu) => gnome-control-center (Ubuntu) -- wrong monitor dimension shown https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/465717 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-control-center in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
