Description of problem: When running with multihead configuration (multiple screens on one X server) gnome (contrary to X itself) assumes the size of the pixels on all attached monitors it equal, hence only one "dpi" setting. This is rarely the case. Font sizes configured properly for screen 0 are huge on screen 1 or configured for screen 0 are tiny/unreadable on screen 0. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Gnome 2.8.13 F7 How reproducible: Attach two monitor with inequal pixel size Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: Expected results: Additional info: I've tried all suggestions: ** The DPI probed by X is correct and indeed it shows a different DPI for both screens. ** I also tried the Xft.dpi resource. This resource is normally shared on all screen, but xrdb has the possibility to set resources for a specific screen only. This would be the solution if this mode was honoured by Xft, which it isn't, apparently Xft only uses "global" resources. Please note: I am not interested in having my DPI's being equal or not equal to the physical dimensions of the screens. I've read the flames, I don't care, that's not my problem. The problem is setting DIFFERENT dpi's for both screens, and I don't care what exact values they are.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 7 is nearing the end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 7. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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 '7'. 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 7'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 7 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. 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. If possible, it is recommended that you try the newest available Fedora distribution to see if your bug still exists. Please read the Release Notes for the newest Fedora distribution to make sure it will meet your needs: http://docs.fedoraproject.org/release-notes/ The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Fedora 7 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on June 13, 2008. Fedora 7 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.
