It appears that as of Ubuntu 11.10 there is no longer ANY way to correct incorrectly detected DPI. This needs to be fixed rather urgently before 12.04 is released...

A friend of mine got 1600x1200 as default resolution, which makes characters far too small to be readable. Instead of specifying a DPI number directly (which is somewhat abstract), there should be two rulers displayed; either the user measures them with a "hardware ruler" and enters the lengths of the displayed rulers (much like GIMP does), or there is a slider for each direction which scale the displayed rulers until they match the hardware ruler. http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=153634: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=153634 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gnome-control-center/+bug/8357/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
