[Bug 357597] New: DisplaySize setting wrong
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=357597 Summary: DisplaySize setting wrong Product: openSUSE 10.3 Version: Final Platform: x86 OS/Version: openSUSE 10.3 Status: NEW Severity: Minor Priority: P5 - None Component: SaX2 AssignedTo: ms@novell.com ReportedBy: t.zumbrunn@unibas.ch QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: --- I have a two monitor setup: a laptop with 1680x1050 resolution and an external monitor with 1280x1024 resolution. I used SaX2 (version 8.1) to setup the displays. In /etc/X11/xorg.conf under 'Section "Monitor"', the DisplaySize setting was 662 207. However, it should probably be something like 331 207 to honour the physical resolution of the laptop. Some applications (such as acroread or R - http://r-project.org) seem to use these settings and consequently display distorted windows. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

- Would it be a valid solution to prevent setting the DisplaySize at all ?
I uncommented the DisplaySize in my xorg.conf. Some applications seem to have problems with that (see attached screenshot of Acrobat Reader - the displayed document is distorted). -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

What is the output of xdpyinfo after you uncommented DisplaySize in xorg.conf? And what was it before? Is there any difference?
Just for the sake of completeness: With a DisplaySize 331 207 entry in xorg.conf, xdpyinfo output is [...] dimensions: 3360x1050 pixels (667x208 millimeters) resolution: 128x128 dots per inch [...] When removing the DisplaySize entry, xdpyinfo output is [...] dimensions: 3360x1050 pixels (683x272 millimeters) resolution: 125x98 dots per inch [...] -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

I changed the setup to not include a combined display size anymore
You're right. It's the best you could do in this situation. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

So you should probably enter DisplaySize 331 207 in your xorg.conf (if these are the true dimensions of your screen).
Yes, that's what I did.
The values you get with the autodetection are weird, I cannot believe that your screen really has 125x98 dpi, I never saw a screen with different resolutions in x and y directions.
My screen doesn't have 125x98 dpi, which shows that the DisplaySize entry must be present in xorg.conf (that was the only thing I wanted to show). Thanks to all for your help! -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
