Description of problem: When I run dpyinfo, the result is: screen #0: dimensions: 1440x900 pixels (381x238 millimeters) resolution: 96x96 dots per inch However, actual measurements are 303x189 mm. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.7.1-7.fc12.x86_64 Additional info: The difference is noticeable, about a quarter off. So, everything is really small and hard to read. The weird thing is, if I run gnome-display-properties, it detects correct size (14"). IIRC there was an option DisplaySize in Monitor section in xorg.conf, but this is a fully auto-configured system. There's no xorg.conf.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 12 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 12. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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 '12'. 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 12'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 12 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
This bug is still present in Fedora 14. # xdpyinfo | grep dimensions dimensions: 1280x1024 pixels (338x270 millimeters) # monitor-edid | grep size Screen size: 37.0 cm x 30.0 cm (18.75 inches, aspect ratio 5/4 = 1.25) I'm using the radeon driver with the integrated graphics chip on a Gigabyte GA-MA785GM-US2H mainboard (it uses an RS880 chip).
Thanks for the bug report. We have reviewed the information you have provided above, and there is some additional information we require that will be helpful in our diagnosis of this issue. Please add drm.debug=0x04 to the kernel command line, restart computer, and attach * your X server config file (/etc/X11/xorg.conf, if available), * X server log file (/var/log/Xorg.*.log) * output of the dmesg command, and * system log (/var/log/messages) to the bug report as individual uncompressed file attachments using the bugzilla file attachment link above. We will review this issue again once you've had a chance to attach this information. Thanks in advance.

Created attachment 485574 [details] edid data from my monitor, perhaps it matters...
I'd say that this is probably a bug in the radeon xorg driver. In the X.org log it says in one place: [ 22.832] (II) RADEON(0): EDID for output VGA-0 ... [ 22.833] (II) RADEON(0): Max Image Size [cm]: horiz.: 37 vert.: 30 and later on it says [ 22.868] (II) RADEON(0): Setting screen physical size to 338 x 270 So for whatever reason, it just ignores the EDID data it parsed earlier on.
Of course I do care, just stuck on vacation while Mattias is hijacking my bug instead of filing a separate one. I don't have a Radeon, BTW.
(In reply to comment #10) > Of course I do care, just stuck on vacation while Mattias is hijacking > my bug instead of filing a separate one. I don't have a Radeon, BTW. Could we get updated logs (see comment 3) then, please? Matthias, could I ask you to file a separate bug for your problem please? Thank you
Pete, this isn't "your" bug, and I didn't "hijack" it. I merely did what every bug reporter is supposed to do: check for duplicates before filing a redundant new bug. And I personally still don't see the point in filing a new bug since after all, I have the same problem as Pete. The fact that he doesn't have a Radeon doesn't necessarily mean that the cause is not the same.
I agree that the cause may end the same for our hardware. The speculation in comment #8 was not based on code.

Here's an equivalent of comment #8: [ 39.149] (II) intel(0): EDID for output LVDS1 ..... [ 39.149] (II) intel(0): Max Image Size [cm]: horiz.: 30 vert.: 19 ..... [ 35.692] (**) intel(0): Display dimensions: (300, 190) mm [ 35.692] (**) intel(0): DPI set to (121, 120) ..... [ 35.918] (II) GLX: Initialized DRI2 GL provider for screen 0 [ 35.919] (II) intel(0): Setting screen physical size to 381 x 238
So what's going to happen how? Will this be reported upstream? Or will we have to wait another year and a half for anything to happen?
Same on nouveaou. [ 13260.376] (II) NOUVEAU(0): Max Image Size [cm]: horiz.: 34 vert.: 19 [ 13260.832] (II) NOUVEAU(0): Setting screen physical size to 508 x 285

This may be interesting, a note by Adam: https://git.gnome.org/browse/gnome-settings-daemon/tree/plugins/xsettings/gsd-xsettings-manager.c#n67 Of course nothing he's saying is helping one bit to the people who own a properly working hardware that reports sizes correctly, and those sizes are then discarded.
