** Description changed: Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-intel [Paul: This size 289x21 millimiters is reported by about 6 persons on Intel chipset, I have i945 but mine is fine] [Paul: other values seen: 40x30, 10x10 ATI radeon)] Lure on the kubuntu-devel irc has given me a list of things to report. This report is to fix the following. http://picasaweb.google.com/davmor2/UbuntuScreenshots/photo#5119247564230314514 http://picasaweb.google.com/davmor2/UbuntuScreenshots/photo#5119247581410183714 http://picasaweb.google.com/davmor2/UbuntuScreenshots/photo#5119247602885020210 The screen res taken from xdpyinfo is 1280x800 pixels (289x21 millimeters) The dpi taken from xdpyinfo is 112x968 dpi I will add the log files shortly. [Update] This problem is caused by buggy monitors that emit incorrect EDID from their firmware. Fortunately, X.org has a mechanism for working around these bugs, but they're implemented specific to the particular model # of the monitor. So if you find yourself experiencing this problem, please file a NEW bug (don't reopen this one) against xorg-server titled "<monitor-name> produces bad EDID causing large font sizes; needs quirk", and attach the following information: * /var/log/Xorg.0.log * output from `sudo ddcprobe` * output from `sudo get-edid | parse-edid` (you'll need to install the read-edid package) + + [lspci] + 00:00.0 Host bridge [0600]: Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/PM/GMS, 943/940GML and 945GT Express Memory Controller Hub [8086:27a0] (rev 03) + Subsystem: Hewlett-Packard Company Unknown device [103c:30a5] + 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS, 943/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller [8086:27a2] (rev 03) (prog-if 00 [VGA]) + Subsystem: Hewlett-Packard Company Unknown device [103c:30a5]
