It looks like X is figuring out the correct values, but these days on -intel modesetting is done by the kernel. The kernel establishes the initial mode, dpi settings, detects monitor resolution, and so on, and X does not tinker with them anymore.
However, X does expose the kernel functionality to userspace so config tools can update or change the settings. So it could be possible KDE is doing something to force 96 dpi or something. But I'm not familiar enough with KDE to guess. So, I'll bump it over to the kernel to look at. ** Package changed: xserver-xorg-video-intel (Ubuntu) => linux (Ubuntu) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/709896 Title: Lenovo X200s: wrong screen size -> wrong DPI -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
