DisplaySize on Xorg.conf with nv/nvidia doesn't change my DPI
I used to set this on xorg.conf:
Code:
DisplaySize 270 200 The new hardware is: CPU: Intel 8200 MOBO: Gigabyte EP35-DS4 RAM: 4GB SOUND: onboard VGA: Nvidia 8800GT I tried setting UseEdidDpi which I found on the Gentoo Wiki but nothing changed. When I type: Code:
xdpyinfo | grep dimensions Code:
dimensions: 1024x768 pixels (333x241 millimeters) So, how can I set/change my DPI? |

I use this in xorg.conf and works for me: Section "Device" VideoRam 128 # Insert Clocks lines here if appropriate Identifier "Videocard0" Driver "nvidia" VendorName "NVIDIA Corporation" BoardName "GeForce FX 5700 Ultra" Option "NvAGP" "1" Option "RenderAccel" "true" Option "ConnectedMonitor" "CRT" Option "IgnoreDisplayDevices" "DFP, TV" Option "UseEDID" "FALSE" Option "DPI" "96 x 96" |
I have a 17 inch LCD monitor with a native resolution of 1280 x 1024.
Usually I boot into runlevel 3. In my /usr/bin/startx I have the following: serverargs="-dpi 120 -ac -nolisten tcp" Occasionally I boot into runlevel 4 and I use the KDM display manager to manage logins. In my /etc/kde/kdm/kdmrc I have the following: [X-:*-Core] ServerArgsLocal=-dpi 120 -ac -nolisten tcp I always boot into X at 120 dpi. As a test, to xorg.conf I added a DisplaySize option for 96 x 96 dpi (DisplaySize 338 271). The DisplaySize option was ignored because the startx option took precedence. You can manually test at the command line by running: startx -- -dpi 92 |
One of these options made my CRT shut off when starting X:
Code:
VideoRam 128 Then I tried this at the command line: Code:
startx -- -dpi 92 Code:
alias startx='startx -- -dpi 96' |
It's been a while since I used nvidia, but I believe the line
Option "UseEDID" "FALSE" is the option that is required to get DisplaySize to act as expected with the nvidia proprietary driver. HTH |

Question: 1. Start X from runlevel 3 using your alias. 2. Toggle to another console session (Ctrl-Alt-F2). 3. Start X from there using your alias. Does X start in the second console session? |
