Bug#610043: xorg: Incorrect screen size and resolution
Package: xorg Severity: important On Dell 710m laptop with 1280x800 screen, X only produces 1024x768. Screen should be 96x96 dpi, but instead is ~120x100. Problem exists on standard Squeeze install. Upgrading to packages in experimental does not help. Xorg.0.log is included below. You're using the vesa driver. Why? If I understand the modern operation of xorg correctly, user configuration is not expected; it's supposed to configure itself. The log shows the result of its self-configuration. I don't know why it chose the vesa driver, but if it's not the right one, that would seem to be a bug.

There's not enough information in your report to say that. Cheers, Julien signature.asc Description: Digital signature

Hello Cyril, First, let me say that I truly appreciate your timely responses and personal attention. I am, however, a little puzzled by your reply.

Closing per second paragraph of: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?msg=10;bug=609972 KiBi. I didn't file the installation report because it didn't work correctly, I filed it because the d-i team asks for one when the new installer is tested. I filed this bug report because the first part of your response in the message you refer to was: General answer, report a bug: reportbug xorg. However, it seems by your replies that neither report was welcome. Regarding the bug report, I'm confused as to why you closed the bug, when the display is not correct and can not be made correct. Is the Debian BTS only intended for Debian-specific bugs, bugs with a sufficient level of interest, or something else I don't understand? Finally, regarding the bug itself, your original response suggested that this may be a problem of upstream support. It may be useful information that the display is correct under the latest version of Kubuntu, which is using 7.5+6 of xorg as opposed to Squeeze's 7.5+8. I could provide a copy of the log Kubuntu generates if desired. This message is intended to provide information and work toward a solution; I hope it is received in that spirit.
