Using which video driver? All FOSS driver versions I've used since long before this bug was opened force 96 unless unless explicitly overridden via xrandr, Xft.dpi, server startup option -dpi, DE settings (which typically use Xft.dpi or xrandr), or xorg.conf*'s DisplaySize option. All these options force a specific DPI. None enable the server or driver to do what computers do best, calculate and apply an accurate value automatically, which is what this bug is effectively requesting. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xorg-server in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/589485 Title: Ignores physical display size and calculates based on 96DPI To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/xorg-server/+bug/589485/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
