The bug here is this FIXME:
/* FIXME: What do we do about physical size?
*
* As far as this function is concerned, probably just pass the problem up to
* the callers. There, the best possibility might be to pick the sum of
* physical sizes, but the reality is that the physical size of an X screen is
* a meaningless concept in a randr 1.2 world.
*/
timer = g_timer_new ();
g_print ("setting size to %d %d\n", width, height);
rw_screen_set_size (assign->screen, width, height, 300, 230);
I think the right fix is to simply pick a dpi of 96x96 and disregard the
physical sizes.
The workaround is this:
xrandr --dpi 96
BTW: is there any reason why the Gtk font setting dpi value (i.e. the one you can control in the fonts capplet) is independant from the X display dpi value (i.e. the one you can change with Xrandr)? Shouldn't the gnome capplet also update the X display dpi value via xrandr and keep sure they stay in sync? Changing version to '9' as part of upcoming Fedora 9 GA. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping This message is a reminder that Fedora 9 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 9. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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 '9'. 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 9'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 9 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 9 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2009-07-10. Fedora 9 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates.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. |
