Hi Folks: I would think the DPI of the environment is playing into this. David, what DPI is on your EEE?

I've just tried xwininfo on bluez-gnome-1.7 on both an Eee PC and a full sized PC (possibly with slightly different support library versions). Full sized PC geometry for the preferences window is 420x521. EeePC geometry for the same is 420x523. I'm not sure where the 2 pixel difference comes from (I don't think the geometry here is including the window manager decorations). But neither are close to 420x420. You weren't thinking 420x520 perchance? -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-bluetooth" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
