It just takes the display resolution, figures out what reported display size will make Qt calculate 96dpi for that display resolution, and tells it that display size. The only exception to this is if you explicitly specify DisplaySize in an X config file. Many years ago when you queried X for the display size it would tell you what the monitor claimed, but it doesn't any more. -- 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 To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
