Problem with 1080p resolution [SOLVED]
Hey Guys!
I have connected my Asrock Ion330 to my Samsung TV which can handle HD etc.
The resolution on the screen shows it 1920x1080 - which is 1080p - But my Icon and vindows on the gnome desktop - are insane huge - but I can see on the mouse error that the resolution is rigth!
How can I fix - this so I can use the different windows menues etc in gnome - in a nice view!
Everything is so hudge that I cannot accept changes etc in the bottom of the different windows!
TIA
P

Re: Problem with 1080p resolution [SOLVED]
You said icons and windows are insane huge - what about the text/font size?
If the text is also too big, try to decrease the DPI value.
But a to big DPI value would not explain the large icons, it would only explain the too large windows caused by the too large text/font size.
Can you please provide us a screenshot?

Re: Problem with 1080p resolution [SOLVED]
Please check the DPI:
xdpyinfo | grep -B1 dotIf the resolution is not 96dpi change it to 96dpi.
If this solves the problem, edit your xorg.conf as follows:
Section "Monitor"
...
DisplaySize 508 285 # 96 dpi @ 1920x1080
Option "UseEdidDpi" "False"
...The formula to calculate the DPI is:
X = resolutionX / DPI * 25,4
Y = resolutionY / DPI * 25,4
