Here's a quick review.
This seems to be no longer the case on recent Debian systems: xdpyinfo | grep resol resolution: 100x100 dots per inch Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 2560 x 1440, maximum 8192 x 8192 DisplayPort-0 connected primary 2560x1440+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 597mm x 336mm I am not sure where this comes from since the actual DPI seems to be more like 109 rather than 100: 2560*25.4/597 108.91792 1440*25.4/336 108.85714 xdpyinfo | grep resol resolution: 94x94 dots per inch Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 2400 x 1600, maximum 8192 x 8192 DVI-I-1 connected primary 1200x1600+1200+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 324mm x 432mm 1200x1600 59.96*+ HDMI-1 connected 1200x1600+0+0 left (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 408mm x 306mm 1600x1200 60.00*+ Here 94 DPI is precise for the first display and the second 100 DPI display is not taken into account: 1200*25.4/306 99.60784 1600*25.4/408 99.60784 1200*25.4/324 94.07407 1600*25.4/432 94.07407 Linux 3.16.0-4-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 3.16.7-ckt11-1+deb8u4 xserver-xorg-core 2:1.17.3-2 xserver-xorg-video-radeon 1:7.5.0-1+b1 xserver-xorg-video-nouveau 1:1.0.12-1 Thanks Michal _______________________________________________ xorg-devel@lists.x.org: X.Org development Archives: http://lists.x.org/archives/xorg-devel Info: http://lists.x.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg-devel
