Bug#680377: xorg: update FAQ: How to set correct DPI
Package: xorg
Version: 1:7.6+13
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
the FAQ at http://x.debian.net/faq/general.html currently mentions three
ways how to set DPI values different from 96 DPI:
- use the desktop environment
- use -dpi argument for X
- use xrandr --dpi
Please also add the possibility to use the "DisplaySize" option in the X
config (especially because none of the three ways listed above work for
me).
Julien Cristau also mentioned setting something for xft, but I have no
further insights. However, this also may be useful for the FAQ.
PS: While you're at it, it would be very nice to see how to supply -dpi
as an argument when using gdm3 (or any other login manager).
Best regards,
Carsten Otto
