Description of problem: Running any version of fedora since 9 up to F11 preview on an intel based netbook (Acer Aspire One, Samsung NC10, eeepc etc) results in over large fonts onthe login screen and onthe Gnome/KDE desktops. The resolution is set to 134 DPI, it should be 96 (gnome-appearance-properties -> Fonts -> Details -> Resolution) Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): All releases since at least F9, and including F11 Preview How reproducible: Just boot up any Fedora install on a netbook (incl live usb sessions) Steps to Reproduce: Install fedora on a netbook and boot into a gui (gnome or kde) 1. 2. 3. Actual results: Fonts are too large, dpi=134 Expected results: proper sized fonts, dpi=96 Additional info: correcting the dpi in Gnome or KDE desktop doesn't fix the problem on the gdm login screen, to change dpi for that you need to change it in gdm's gcong settings in /var/lib/gdm

I added the logs, but note that I have now manually corrected the dpi to 96 in gnome appearances dialog and also for gdm. This is in F11 Preview on an Acer Aspire One netbook
Were my attachements not helpful? Do you want me to attach a log from a session where the dpi size has not been manually fixed?
This is OK, I think.
Can the title be edited, I used "small" when I meant "large"
