It seems I have the same bug on my laptop with the Natty release. I'm using a Dell Latitude D830 with an Nvidia Quadro NVS 135M. I installed the proprietary drivers.
I try to change the resolution (in pixel) with nvidia-settings. With 1920*1200 (native resolution) I have : xdpyinfo | grep dime && xdpyinfo | grep reso dimensions: 1920x1200 pixels (331x210 millimeters) resolution: 147x145 dots per inch with 1680*1050 I have : xdpyinfo | grep dime && xdpyinfo | grep reso dimensions: 1680x1050 pixels (290x183 millimeters) resolution: 147x146 dots per inch In the second case, the quality of the image was worse than with the native resolution : can it be explained by the dpi difference 146 vs 145 ? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gtk+2.0 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/564072 Title: DPI is not recognized by UBUNTU, so fonts, icons and the whole system is too small -- desktop-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
