Bugzilla – Bug 222618
Huge fonts on KDE, maybe caused by "DisplaySize 16 16" on xorg.conf
Last modified: 2006-11-20 16:33:50 UTC
When the openSUSE 10.2 installation from the factory tree ended, KDE opened up with HUGE fonts. I will attach the output of "hwinfo --monitor --log=xxx" and my oringal xorg.conf (the one created during install). Since then, I have corrected the problem by calling "sax2 --auto", which then yelded a correct configuration, so it seems that it is a problem during installation phase.
Created attachment 106223 [details] The output of hwinfo Note, this command was ran after the configuration was already corrected, but I think it doesn't make a difference (right?).
Created attachment 106225 [details] The oringinal xorg.conf file This is the xorg.conf file created during installation, which lead to the HUGE fonts.
Just in case you need to know, I installed last Friday from fr2.rpmfind.net. There weren't any changes to that mirror since then.
Hm, hwinfo doesn't see the monitor. Hugo, can you run the hwinfo command again on a text console?
Created attachment 106228 [details] hwinfo from text console I started in runlevel 3 and ran the requested command. Here is the log. Just for the record, this is on a laptop, a NEC VERSA FS900.
When I run hwinfo --monitor from runlevel 3 on my i815 with Dell P991 it finds no monitor, and creates a log file containing all hwinfo.
Felix Miata, you have set the bug with NEEDINFO from me. What info do you need from me?
Hm, hwinfo doesn't see the monitor, no matter what. So I think it is not causing the DisplaySize entry. Marcus, do you have an idea who adds the 16mm display size?
Bugzilla made the change by itself when I added comment 6. I've seen that happen before and don't know why it does that.

Felix Miata, that is usually beacuse there was a midair collision, but usually bugzilla warns about it to prevent it. Humm, I knew there was a bug about the huge letters, but I was asked to open this report because of the "DisplaySize 16 16" thing (http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-factory/2006-11/msg00633.html), and I thought it had more to it in my case. If anyone still needs something from me, I am still here.
Bugzilla did warn about the midair. I then hit the back button, then cut my response, then hit reload, then pasted back my response, then hit commit.
