Bug#276933: Debian configuration should always ask for monitor physical size
Package: xserver-xfree86
Version: 4.3.0.dfsg.1-8
Severity: minor
When using ``advanced'' mode of configuring monitor, the configuration
script (`dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86') doesn't ask for monitor
physical size. Because of this, I had very small default fonts. While
they are configurable in most places, this is still annoying and, for
instance, font size at login screen is not configurable (to the best of
my knowledge.)
As a workaround, I manually added ``DisplaySize ...'' string in
`/etc/X11/XF86Config-4'.
I suggest that Debian configuration asks for monitor size in addition
to vertical and horizontal sync frequency.
