Current xorg.conf
I am try to install KDE and problem is not reproducing. The problem is reproducing only with Gnome. I found a workaround: In xorg.conf I remove string DisplaySize 370 278 ->restart X -> chose is gnome settings (gnome-appearance-properties) 96dpi -> save -> reboot -> add in xorg.conf DisplaySize 370 278. On my screen: [fkooman@dilithium ~]$ xdpyinfo | grep -B1 dot dimensions: 1440x900 pixels (303x190 millimeters) resolution: 121x120 dots per inch [fkooman@dilithium ~]$ cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep -i dpi (==) intel(0): DPI set to (100, 100) [fkooman@dilithium ~]$ I didn't tweak anything in xorg.conf for the DPI settings. It seems to be OK in gdm, but not in GNOME. Setting the dpi at the font selection things in GNOME to 100 makes it look really nice. 96 is also an option, but 100 seems nicer. So it looks like the Intel driver does a sane thing by "setting" it to 100, no idea why xdpyinfo shows 121x120 though. This message is a reminder that Fedora 8 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 8. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '8'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 8's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 8 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping Fedora 8 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2009-01-07. Fedora 8 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed. |
