--- Comment #3 from Oliver Maurhart <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 2008-09-12 13:28:50 PST --- Thanks for the reply. It's fine with me if it is the xserver not the driver, I don't care. I googled over hell and found this bug report which exactly defines mine. I didn't made the assignment to the xf86-video-ati maintainers ... if you know better: please reassign! But, look: back those days in ati-6.6.3 and xserver-1.3 things looked pretty cool, though I can hardly remember ... but DPI has never been of any concern. Then ati-6.8.0 was delivered which led to this incident (on xserver-1.3). Then I used ati-6.9.0 together with xserver-1.3, xserver-1.4.2 and xserver-1.5. I even tried the git-sources of the ati-driver some days ago. No nothing. DPI is plain wrong. Even worse: it get set correctly in the first place just to be overwritten quite shortly after. I've set DisplaySize in the Monitor Section (used a ruler). But, if I use fglrx ... it's fine! Together with xserver-1.3 and xserver-1.4.2 (remember vaguely fglrx complaining about xserver-1.5, when used ...). With fgrlx, I get correct DPI! To me, this looks like a driver issue, doesn't it? Where does this second assignment to this "physical size" come from, even if set it up (as root!!) in the xorg.conf? I currently have no clue where to look for ... Concerning the Desktop Environment: actually the physical size has been changed to some wrong values reflected by xdpyinfo. The later I don't count to some Desktop Environment. Funny thing is, that Gnome fully ignores the this thing (which in turn could be a false-positive bug?) giving me correct DPI. Whereas KDE gets really freaked out and confuessed: some apps using the correct DPI some not, making the desktop a mess. Are there any files (/var/log/Xorg.0.log, /etc/X11/xorg.conf, lspci, etc.) which could provide some insights? Oh, and BTW - it's a Gentoo machine. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.freedesktop.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug. _______________________________________________ xorg-driver-ati mailing list [email protected] http://lists.x.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg-driver-ati
