Inconsistent screen resolutions depending on how X was started
Hello,
having managed to start X from the console (see other thread), I noticed different font sizes on applications. I traced this down to different screen resolution settings depending on how X was started:
After startx from console:
$ xdpyinfo | egrep '(dimension|resolution)'
dimensions: 1280x1024 pixels (325x260 millimeters)
resolution: 100x100 dots per inch
After logging in through kdm:
$ xdpyinfo | egrep '(dimension|resolution)'
dimensions: 1280x1024 pixels (382x302 millimeters)
resolution: 85x86 dots per inch
The latter numbers (85x86dpi) are correct, the former are not.
How can this be fixed?
Thanks,
--D.
