Description Dirk Mueller 2005-10-05 11:10:35 UTC 
sax2 generates for my TFT, which is a 19" tft a DisplaySize of a 17" TFT.  
 
changing DisplaySize  320 240 to DisplaySize  376 301 solves the problem of a 
wrong DPI number.  
 
I'm not sure if it wouldn't be better to rely on DDC (if that one supplies the 
display size) rather than hardcoding a wrong value.

sysp -q told me: 
 
 BELINEA 103050  with DPI: 320x240 
 
hwinfo --monitor told me: 
 
 SAMSUNG SyncMaster with DPI: 380x300 
 
I think you have changed the monitor at some time. If you did that 
you have to call  
 
  sax2 -r 
 
to reset the hardware cache. I'm pretty sure the DPI will be set to 
380x300 according to the DDC information
