From: Dominic Fandrey on 2 May 2010 17:56 After a surprisingly smooth update Xorg-7.5 update (good job there) it's time for me to complain about a change in the intel driver. The driver suddenly seems to be hard-coded to come up with 96dpi. This is quite ridiculous as the driver perfectly knows the correct display size: LVDS connected 1440x900+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 304mm x 190mm 1440px / 304mm * 25.4(mm/") ~= 120dpi Regards -- A: Because it fouls the order in which people normally read text. Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing? A: Top-posting. Q: What is the most annoying thing on usenet and in e-mail? _______________________________________________ freebsd-ports(a)freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-ports-unsubscribe(a)freebsd.org"

I suspect xdpyinfo just takes the pixel dimensions and resolutions and calculates the screen dimensions: 25.4 * 1440 / 96 = 381 Or the intel driver does it. But why should xrandr show the correct values? After running "xrandr --dpi 120" xdpyinfo shows the correct values. -- A: Because it fouls the order in which people normally read text.
