If you wouldn't mind (and pardon the pun,) I'm curious to know how one causes these settings to be 'out of sync' with one's monitor?
My 10+ years old NEC monitor does not support DDC, as I understand, so the system has no way to query monitor for its capabilities.
Doesn't the system calculate an appropriate dpi based upon the display properties passed to it during installation?
Yes it does calculate, but in the lack of real data from the monitor it made a not very correct guess about screen dimensions.
How can I avoid this?
Use more modern hardware :-) ? Regards, -Kastus
