Quoth Condon Thomas A KPWA:
Folks,
I've got two laptops running the same piece of software, but they show the output GUI window differently. So I put in some statements to debug why and they come up with different numbers of pixels for the size of text (that is the same). The only reason I can figure for this is a screen resolution issue.
The dimensions of the screen determine the DPI used to draw the screen:
$ xdpyinfo | egrep 'resol|dimen' dimensions: 1280x1024 pixels (339x271 millimeters) resolution: 96x96 dots per inch
The physical dimensions are 339x271mm; the logical dimensions are 1280x1024 pixels, which gives an actual screen resolution of 96x96dpi,
hrmmm, this got me wondering. on one of my boxes i have: xdpyinfo | egrep 'resol|dimen' dimensions: 1600x1200 pixels (383x290 millimeters) resolution: 106x105 dots per inch
is it normal for the 'resolution' to be rectangular, rather than square?
