Description @4u 2007-11-30 02:13:35 UTC 
Hi,

the referenced URL is just to show why I want to overwrite the calculated DPI. I have a Thinkpad T60 here. The driver is working perfectly thought that at initialisiation the display "flashes" (is white for a small amount of time before getting black).

Unfortunately the calculated DPI for the monitor is 75x75.

I used to add "DisplaySize 400 302" to the monitor section to get 88x88 DPI. This worked until Randr 1.2 was merged. Now I have to use "NoRandr" to overwrite the default DPI. I know that I can set Monitor-PANEL to link it with the Monitor0 section but the problem still exists. There seems to be no way to overwrite the EDID results (for example setting "RRUseXF86Edid" to true).

I think this is a bug and hopefully it's easy to fix. Please let me know if you need more information (xorg.conf, Xorg.0.log, distribution specific information etc.).

I'm pretty sure this is a duplicate of this known (and fixed) upstream bug.
