- HELP!
-
- My Sun SPARCstation IPX has a 16" screen which means 100 dpi resolution,
- but xdpyinfo insists on reporting 83 dpi (suitable for a 19" screen). I've
- scanned all of the manuals in Sun's "AnswerBook", but there is no mention
- of how one tells xnews server what is the screen's physical resolution.
-
- Does anyone know HOW Sun's implementation of Xwindows decides what the
- resolution of a screen is? I'd really like to fix this.
