It dawned on me that a "proposed replacement" might lack such an, um, "feature" of hardwired 96 dpi. Now if that will be called progress I'll invest some time into finding those who arranged that and ruining their remnants of reputation.
(creating and improving is vastly more important but the feeling of impunity results in *evil* things, unfortunately) Folks, hey let's just get this crap fixed, are you still listening to the community? XFree86 project used to skip that at times, please don't. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to xorg-server in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/589485 Title: Ignores physical display size and calculates based on 96DPI Status in X.Org X server: Confirmed Status in “xorg-server” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: The X server, starting with 1.7, ignores the physical size reported by the EDID or in xorg.conf and calculates it based on screen resolution and a DPI of 96. This is rather annoying for users of high DPI screens. GNOME and KDE (used?) to set 96 DPI by default in their settings. We should check whether they still do, and if so let them handle this; I don't think X should be handling this.
