[Bug 118745] Re: Font sizes in Gutsy are vulnerable to bad X.org DPI detection

[Nick_Hill]

Hello Patrice

How did you sett he DPI for your system?

For my 17" TFT monitor, I set screen size and hence DPI in xorg.conf like:
Section "Monitor"
        Identifier      "Generic Monitor"
        Option          "DPMS"
        HorizSync       30-65
        VertRefresh     50-75
        DisplaySize     340 270
EndSection

However, Bryce Harrington has been making excellent progress with bullet
proof X, which should autodetect all relevant settings, which could
ultimately eliminate the need for xorg.conf on most machines.

I installed Ubuntu Gutsy T2 on a 2.5" hard drive, deleted xorg.conf then
swapped it between 8 very different laptops. On all systems, I had a
screen which was potentially usable to at least install the system and
manually configure the resolution etc (once the front end will
accommodate higher than fall-back settings in fall-back situations).

I have logged  info from these laptops including lspci -v, xorg.0.log,
/proc/bus, dmesg, lsmod. If anyone knows how this information can best
be used, please let me know!
