Setting DPI correctly

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hello guys,

I"m still trying to tweak my fonts system-wise. I'm right now working on 
having my DPI set correctly. When I do :

xdpyinfo | grep resolution

I get:  1280x1024 pixels (382x313 millimeters)

The resolution is fine but the display dimensions are wrong. My monitor is a 
Viewsonic Vp930b with a display area of: 376.3(H) x 301.1(v) (in milimiters 
of course) which I got from the specs.  I'm using the nvidia driver.  Based 
on the Xorg log, apparently this is the EDID info my monitor tells the 
card... 

I tried adding "DisplaySize 376  301" to my xorg.conf but apparently the 
nvidia driver won't care about DisplaySize. When I query xdpyinfo again I 
still see the old values.

 I know there are 2 nvidia options I can set to force the DPI (speciying the 
dpi and disabling EDID) in the xorg.conf but I'm really worried why my 
monitor is providing wrong values to the card.  However, I still would like 
to make DisplaySize work...any ideas guys?

Thanks!
Jorge
