The screen width physical size is still 262mm instead of something like 524mm.
I assume this is the monitor lying to you. Is the 324mm ok?
324mm is OK.
In that case, you'll have to specify the dimension of the screen manually in xorg.conf
(II) RADEONHD(0): Max H-Image Size [cm]: horiz.: 52 vert.: 32
Hm, that looks ok... I'm not doing anything with the EDID data, this is base RandR's behavior. Still:
(II) RADEONHD(0): Supported additional Video Mode: (II) RADEONHD(0): clock: 156.0 MHz Image Size: 262 x 324 mm
Ah, there it gets it from. So the monitor is lying in its additional video mode image size, and that one has precedence over the general info block...
I tried to set the physical display in my xorg.conf (attached). It looks like my configuration is correct since the log now contains: (...) (II) RADEONHD(0): Max H-Image Size [cm]: horiz.: 52 vert.: 32 (...) (II) RADEONHD(0): Supported additional Video Mode: (II) RADEONHD(0): clock: 156.0 MHz Image Size: 262 x 324 mm (...) (**) RADEONHD(0): Display dimensions: (524, 324) mm <- my settings here (**) RADEONHD(0): DPI set to (93, 150) (...) (II) RADEONHD(0): Setting screen physical size to 262 x 324 (...) Why is radeonhd not using my settings? Is the driver using a different monitor from the one I configured (called panel24)? Thanks -- Dr. Ludovic Rousseau
