Then I removed nomodeset option. This time the system also booted in 1024x768 graphical resolution, but with different xrandr output:
Though I don't know too much about xrandr I could switch the resolution by:
xrandr -s 1280x1024
My question: How can make this resolution default for the system?
If you're going to continue using multiple displays, you'll need to configure either via: 1-GUI desktop settings (KDE & Gnome, probably others, but not all) 2-xrandr used in one of several startup files (e.g. Xresources, xinitrc & ~/..xinitrc) 3-xorg.conf* (either /etc/X11/xorg.conf or the content of /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/)
Another question: how can I set another DPI? Current DPI is:
xdpyinfo|grep resolution resolution: 120x128 dots per inch
I would like to set it to 100x100.
If you want best possible fonts in X, choose a DPI that is a multiple of 12. Best is a multiple of 24. The reason for this has to do with the design of web (scalable) fonts, which assume most people have 96, leading font designers to design using 96 as a foundation.
Previously (for the nvidia driver) this was set in my xorg.conf file, but now I don't have an xorg.conf.
There are multiple ways to force DPI, including the 3 methods above for setting resolution. If you have the NVidia driver installed, easiest is probably doing it directly via xorg.conf: Option "UseEdidDpi" "False" Option "DPI" "100 x 100" With FOSS drivers, I usually do it indirectly via DisplaySize in xorg.conf*. See http://fm.no-ip.com/Share/DisplaySize for examples. http://fm.no-ip.com/PC/fonts-linux-about.html points to discussion of various others. Forcing via Xft.dpi may not be among them, but is what Gnome uses to force 96 and what KDE uses if force DPI is selected in its fonts settings. Many other apps obey Xft.dpi as well, but far short of all. http://fm.no-ip.com/Share/setup is a startup script I use with broken X drivers and sometimes also when drivers are not broken. http://fm.no-ip.com/Share/ has some skeletal xorg.conf files that may be helpful.
