Description Francis Herne 2014-09-13 22:50:39 UTC
After upgrading to 2.99.916, the DisplaySize value set in xorg.conf.d is ignored, and the default 96dpi used.
Reverting back to 2.99.914 works fine.

GMA4500MHD, xorg-server 1.16.0 on Arch Linux x86_64.

Reported by someone else at https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/41944

Contents of /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/90-monitorsize.conf:
Section "Monitor"
    Identifier             "<default monitor>"
    DisplaySize            260 163
EndSection

    sna: Use default monitor options on the first output

        sna: Parse output options early during initialisation
    
    rearranged the monitor query to before the num_outputs increment. The
    result was that it choose the second output as the default and not the
    intended first.
