Dear Evince People:

I'm just a happy Evince user, new to the list--great app!

Well, OK, I was happy, until I upgraded an F8 box to F9-beta/rawhide a day or two ago. Now evince shows every pdf doc at postage-stamp size, even at
400%.  The page is smaller than the thumbnail in the left pane, and about
the same size as the Nautilus thumbnail.

Current evince is 2.22.1, but downgrading to 2.20 (also poppler) didn't
fix it. I haven't found issues with any other apps. Is this some obscure
system setting?

Following up on my own post: evince uses gdk_screen_get_{width,height}_mm in calculating the display's dpi, and the Gnome docs note that "on some X servers this value will not be correct". They're right! For my generic lcd, they return 40959x6552 mm. That's what--the size of a tennis court?

Replacing the "intel" driver by "vesa" fixes it. The joys of experimental drivers :)

Peter
