Bu X.sunucu Ayarlarını Doğrulamak için Hızlı Bir Test:

X.server'ın monitörünüzü doğru bir şekilde tanıyıp tanımadığını kontrol etmek kesinlikle faydalı olacaktır. X.sunucusu monitörünüzü tanıyamazsa veya monitörünüzü yanlış tanırsa ekranınız ideal olmayacaktır.


Test:

Enter the following command in the Terminal:


user $ xdpyinfo COPY TO CLIPBOARD


These are the results from my machine; fortunately they are correct:



$ xdpyinfo

screen #0:
dimensions:    1920x1200 pixels (524x321 millimeters)
resolution:    93x95 dots per inch

Note: If you are running more than one monitor, this test will most likely provide results that are created by combining the monitors that you have connected to your machine & treating them as though they are one monitor!

So you may need to do some arithmetic, OR, of course you could just connect one monitor at a time for the test. ;)


What if the X.server got it wrong?

If the X.server can't work out what your screen size is it will set your DPI at the default of 75 x 75. If so, you will need to manually create a file like so:

user $ touch /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/90-monitor.conf COPY TO CLIPBOARD

to which you must add the pertinent details (see below).


Getting Your Monitor's Specifications:

Probably the easiest way to get the required details is from the technical specifications supplied in the monitor's manual.

If you don't have the manual, you can search for the specifications of your monitor online; most maker's have a section on their sites for archived manuals.

There are also other sites out there that carry such information.


What do I do with the Specifications:

Enter the following into the Terminal to call your favourite text editor as root & create an initially empty file with the right path & name:

user $ sudo $EDITOR /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/90-monitor.conf COPY TO CLIPBOARD

Then copy the following into your editor's blank page:


/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/90-monitor.conf

Section "Monitor"

    Identifier             "Monitor0"
    DisplaySize             286 179    # In millimeters
EndSection


You MUST replace the DisplaySize numbers with the ones for your monitor.

After you have done that, save the file & reboot. The next time X starts the X.server will have calculated your DPI values from the numbers that you put in the DisplaySize line above.

To test that the X.server has done what it has supposed to do & also that there were no typo's, run the test from the start of this wiki again.


What if I can't find the Manufacturer's Specifations?

You can measure your monitor & input the numbers that way, though your measurements will most likely be different than manufacturer's.

If you can't find the manufacturer's specifications on the web, have a look at this page as you still have options available to you: [1]
