Hmm. I'm sure it used to use auto-detect. The lack of a setting for it is still a bugbear for me, but not really a serious one - I acknowledge that the number of people who are going to know that they ought to set the DPI, and know what to set it to, is small, and most such people can do it with dconf anyway. (I still think we should consider using auto-detected DPI by default, though. Laptops are increasingly coming with displays featuring significantly higher than 96dpi resolution; I'm wondering when the first 2k LCDs will hit.) -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Fedora Talk: adamwill AT fedoraproject DOT org http://www.happyassassin.net -- desktop mailing list desktop@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop
