Description Toralf Förster 2008-07-21 04:11:09 UTC
Having theses settings for my 1400x1050 pixel display :

tfoerste@n22 ~ $ grep Display /etc/X11/xorg.conf
        DisplaySize  284 213

xdpyinfo wrongly reports :
tfoerste@n22 ~ $ xdpyinfo | grep inch
  resolution:    96x96 dots per inch


whereas within Xorg.0.log I find:

tfoerste@n22 ~ $ grep DPI /var/log/Xorg.0.log
(**) RADEON(0): DPI set to (125, 143)

BTW b/c this is from var/log/Xorg.0.log :
(II) RADEON(0): Setting screen physical size to 370 x 277

it is probably not only a problem of xdpyinfo, isn't it ?

It still happens for X.Org X Server 1.5.3 :

tfoerste@n22 ~ $ grep DPI /var/log/Xorg.0.log
(**) RADEON(0): DPI set to (125, 143)

tfoerste@n22 ~ $ /usr/sbin/lspci | grep VGA

If I run "xrandr --dpi 125" manually then the display looks fine. But now I'm wondering how I can set this within xorg.conf ...

Just wanted to let you know that I see the same problem.
Hardware is IBM Thinkpad T43 with
ATI Technologies Inc M22 [Mobility Radeon X300]
xdpyinfo |grep resolu
  resolution:    96x96 dots per inch
grep DPI /var/log/Xorg.0.log
(**) RADEON(0): DPI set to (116, 116)
grep Size /etc/X11/xorg.conf
        DisplaySize  304 228

I'm using openSuse 11.1 which has XServer 1.5.2

seems to be an intel deriver issue, upgarding to xorg 1.6.3 and intel 2.8.1 solved the issue.
