DPI problem in the LiveCD
by Capslock on Thursday 05/Jul/2007, @20:01

The DPI is way too high. I have a widescreen laptop and the screen is crammed.

Setting the DPI (after a long fight with every piece of the GUI) to 96 fixed the problem. I found that it was originally undefined. But the problem now is that I have to log out and then log back in to restart the desktop which was useless because the settings are forgotten.

DPI isn't a setting you change. It's a physical parameter: your resolution (in pixels) divided by your screen size (in inches). Change the resolution, the DPI changes too. The end result is that a 10pt font looks the same visually at 640x480, 800x600, 1600x1200 or any other resolution.
