Hi, |
| 9 |
I used to have the same problems every time I upgraded xorg until I |
| 10 |
found information about passing the screen dimensions in the xorg.conf |
| 11 |
file so the server can determine (calculate) the DPI. |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
Basically, you can provide the screen dimensions in millimiters in the |
| 14 |
following manner: |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
Section "Monitor" |
| 17 |
Identifier "CRT-2" |
| 18 |
VendorName "Sony" |
| 19 |
ModelName "CDP-G400" |
| 20 |
DisplaySize 355 264 |
| 21 |
EndSection |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
This way you'll get a consistent DPI for your display even after upgrading xorg. |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
Another way of achieving this is, if you do not boot right into |
| 27 |
KDM/XDM, you log into the console and pass a DPI value when starting |
| 28 |
xorg: |
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
startx -- -layout <Your server layout of choice> -dpi 96 |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
As you can see, in the example I am forcing a DPI of 96. |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
Hope this helps. |
