Re: [opensuse] DPI setting for ATI fglrx driver (Opensuse 11.3)
On 2011/01/01 01:18 (GMT+0100) Christoph Bartoschek composed:

I have a monitor with native 109 DPI. However the fglrx driver always
uses 96 DPI. The result is that the fonts look to small.

How can I get fglrx to use the correct DPI. I've added the Option
"DisplaySize" to my xorg.conf:

DisplaySize 597 336

In the /var/log/Xorg.0.log file I see that the driver sees the correct size:

[ 4455.379] (II) fglrx(0): clock: 241.5 MHz Image Size: 597 x 336 mm

but some lines later I see:

[ 4455.426] (II) fglrx(0): DPI set to (96, 96)

The desktop is then started with 96 DPI. There is no "-dpi 96" argument
to the X server.

How can I convince fglrx to use the correct DPI setting?

If https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=661536 (which first appeared in 11.3) and https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=32430 aren't enough help post back & we'll figure out what else you need.
