And I do not agree this to be an "enhancment" as you are forced to use LXDE (Which is the only one it will respect your HARD WORK ON SETTING THE DPI AND DIMENSION) while all the other DE's / WM's will ignore that (As it's supposed Xorg is getting the "right" dimension DPI) and After that you must search and look up how to force Firefox, Mozilla, Skype (not supported) Chromium (Not supported) Pidgin, etc, etc applications which will just ignore the Operating system set DPI. That's not at all an enhancment! -- 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.
