KDE / Qt doesn't default to the value actually reported by the hardware either, because X doesn't report the size of the monitor as the DisplaySize. It just generates a DisplaySize that will result in a DPI of 96. So in almost all cases KDE / Qt carefully calculate a value that X has set up to basically always produce 96 in the first place. https://www.happyassassin.net/2015/07/09/of-dpis-desktops-and-toolkits/ https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=41115 (PPL IZ MAD) http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/xserver/tree/hw/xfree86/modes/xf86Rand R12.c#n787 The only case where this doesn't hold is if X configuration contains a DisplaySize (manually added by the user or by the distro or some config tool or something), or if the -dpi parameter is passed to X (in which case X generates a DisplaySize that matches the requested DPI). -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | XMPP: adamw AT happyassassin . net http://www.happyassassin.net -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct
