Comment 20 for bug 80940

Hi Achim,

Are you still having this issue? This seems to actually be an issue in the xserver. I browsed through the code and it is in the xserver's xf86SetDpi() routine that the 96 dpi is selected. 96 is what it picks when all of its usual algorithms fail.

If this issue is still problematic, could you please do a few things to help us make progress on solving this?

First, please test against Jaunty (ISO images are available at http://cdimages.ubuntu.com/releases/jaunty; testing against a LiveCD boot should be plenty sufficient).

Please also attach the Xorg.0.log from the Jaunty session. Unfortunately the Xorg.0.log we have for you in this bug lacks some log info about how it's deciding your screen height/width via EDID or DDC. Another Xorg.0.log may have that.

Also, please attach the output from these three commands, which will give us better insight into what your monitor is communicating about its capabilities and what the xserver is picking up:

  * get-edid | parse-edid # from the read-edid package
  * lshal
  * xrandr --verbose
