Package: xfree86-xserver Version: xserver-xfree86 Severity: normal
Hi, as per the Subject, the savage driver doesn't ask the monitor about its capabilities via DDC, leading to the X server defaulting to 75 dpi, and showing very small fonts. I have observed this behaviour on multiple on-board GFX machines, and even switching to the 'vesa' generic driver shows the expected results in the XFree86.0.log, and set the display DPI to 86x84 for a 15" TFT display. I can confirm that similar machines using the 'via' driver, and another machine using 'nv' driver get the DDC info correctly - this problem seems to be local to the 'savage' driver.
