Hi, |
| 21 |
I used to have the same problems every time I upgraded xorg until I |
| 22 |
found information about passing the screen dimensions in the xorg.conf |
| 23 |
file so the server can determine (calculate) the DPI. |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
Basically, you can provide the screen dimensions in millimiters in the |
| 26 |
following manner: |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
Section "Monitor" |
| 29 |
Identifier "CRT-2" |
| 30 |
VendorName "Sony" |
| 31 |
ModelName "CDP-G400" |
| 32 |
DisplaySize 355 264 |
| 33 |
EndSection |
| 34 |

| 35 |
This way you'll get a consistent DPI for your display even after upgrading xorg. |
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
|
| 38 |
Another way of achieving this is, if you do not boot right into |
| 39 |
KDM/XDM, you log into the console and pass a DPI value when starting |
| 40 |
xorg: |
| 41 |
|
| 42 |
startx -- -layout <Your server layout of choice> -dpi 96 |
| 43 |
|
| 44 |
As you can see, in the example I am forcing a DPI of 96. |
| 45 |
|
| 46 |
Hope this helps. |
