It is likely that this Xorg change explains the VERY TINY text I saw when I ran the recent soas-testing-day-13-02-10.iso build on my XO-1.
If one goes upstream from Bug#570936, one comes to an explanation by Daniel Stone: >> > It was chosen in order to make display of web pages using Xorg more >> > consistent >> > with the way they get displayed on Windows, which by default assumes 96. >> >> Is it an official position of X.org developers?

I wonder how many of the developers -- who chose to change Xorg to now ALWAYS tell applications that the DPI is 96 -- are using Windows on a small (laptop or netbook) system ? mikus _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
