If you specified a dpi on the command line, X will figure out whatever ‘physical size’ would result in that DPI for the resolution that’s in use, and claim that the screen is that size. If you specify a size with the DisplaySize parameter, X just uses that. And if neither of those is true, X will pick a physical size based on a built-in default DPI, which is...96." -- 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
