I have had this problem ever since I started using a TV as a display (DVI to HDMI cable from an nVidia 9600GT). Although I never checked the DPI reported by X in Intrepid, I did have the huge GDM, Etherape and Google Earth fonts. For most other apps, I can usually able to change application settings to compensate, but I would prefer to fix the setting globally or have it default to 96 DPI.
Great link, Bryce -- definitely on point for me, but my problem remains. A few comments: My Display is a 40" 1080 television. 1920 (horizontal pixels) divided by 35 (horizontal inches) equals 54. X is reporting the same 305 (is that the max?). "xrandr --verbose" reports "0mm x 0mm" (I'll guess this is the root problem) but "get-edid" doesn't exist and the "read-edid" package "has no installation candidate" on Jaunty. This seems needlessly complex - can't I just hard-code 96 DPI somewhere? Also not digging the "wont fix" status -- this stuff "just works" on Windows. Or does this just me the bug will be fixed in a different module? -- Jaunty: default DPI settings much too high https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/329713 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
