Package: xfce4-settings Version: 4.12.0-2 Severity: minor Tags: upstream XFCE comes with a configuration setting for adjusting the DPI of a monitor. However, this setting only has effects on Gtk, X itself is not affected. You can easily check this by selecting a non-default DPI setting in the XFCE settings manager, and then at the command line execute:
xdpyinfo | grep resolution This will display the default resolution, chosen by X itself. However, some graphics hardware is broken and report a resolution of 96x96 dpi, even if this is clearly not the case. The old approach was to edit the xorg.conf file to add the relevant properties. However, this approach is deprecated. Another possibility is to use xrandr similar to xrandr --dpi 280 It would be nice if XFCE also changed the RandR DPI setting (not only the Gtk DPI setting) to make this command line trickery unnecessary. br, Thomas -- System Information: Debian Release: stretch/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (500, 'oldoldstable-updates'), (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'stable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.3.0-1-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=C.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=C.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) (ignored: LC_ALL set to C.UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages xfce4-settings depends on: ii libc6 2.21-6 ii libcairo2 1.14.4-1 ii libdbus-1-3 1.10.6-1 ii libdbus-glib-1-2 0.102-1 ii libexo-1-0 0.10.7-1 ii libfontconfig1 2.11.0-6.3 ii libgarcon-1-0 0.4.0-2 ii libgarcon-common 0.4.0-2 ii libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0 2.32.3-1 ii libglib2.0-0 2.46.2-3 ii libgtk2.0-0 2.24.29-1 ii libnotify4 0.7.6-2 ii libpango-1.0-0 1.38.1-1 ii libpangocairo-1.0-0 1.38.1-1 ii libupower-glib3 0.99.3-1+b2 ii libx11-6 2:1.6.3-1 ii libxcursor1 1:1.1.14-1+b1 ii libxfce4ui-1-0 4.12.1-2 ii libxfce4util7 4.12.1-2 ii libxfconf-0-2 4.12.0-2+b1 ii libxi6 2:1.7.5-1 ii libxklavier16 5.2.1-1 ii libxrandr2 2:1.5.0-1 ii xfconf 4.12.0-2+b1 Versions of packages xfce4-settings recommends: ii x11-utils 7.7+3 ii xfce4-volumed 0.1.13-5 xfce4-settings suggests no packages. -- no debconf information _______________________________________________ Pkg-xfce-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pkg-xfce-devel
