[gutsy] desktop i386 tribe-3 normal icons very big font size

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. This bug did not have a package associated with it, which is important for ensuring that it gets looked at by the proper developers. You can learn more about finding the right package at [WWW] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/FindRightPackage. I have classified this bug as a bug in xserver-xorg-video-intel.

I marked this as Confirmed, since you seems to have pin-point the problem.
I may eventually try it myself, as I have a 845GZ chipset based motherboard, I would just have to download XUbuntu.

This seems to be bug #107320, with different symptom.
Looks like XFCE is not resetting DPI like others Desktops.

Are you able to attach /var/log/Xorg.0.log file to this report?

/var/log/messages

/var/log/Xorg.0.log

Thank you for the requested Xorg.0.log.
You have the (==) intel(0): DPI set to (75, 75) too.
Marking this bug as a duplicate of bug #107320, even if your symptoms are more important, because it make your desktop almost unusable (I guess).

that is all right thanks for your time
waiting for maybe a solution from some of the hard working geeks

I don't speak English, but I'll try to tell you my problem

I installed Gutsy Stable yesterday, and I've the same problem.

Firts, GDM shows up as very large characters in the login text field, larger then the field itself.
In the desktop some times the fonts are huge and I can't see anything, then with a Ctrl+Alt+backspace I did reloggin and only the fonts in the title window of all programs are huge.
In the Attachment you can see it.

The fix for 151311 can be used for addressing this, but it doesn't address this specific case. However we can add a quirk for that patch.

The monitor's EDID is reporting the height and width in cm instead of mm, resulting in bad image size.

(II) intel(0): Max H-Image Size [cm]: horiz.: 33 vert.: 21
...
(II) intel(0): clock: 71.2 MHz Image Size: 289 x 21 mm

Here's a patch to add it:

Upstream has made a slightly different patch that should cover this case... I'll roll this into the Intrepid xserver.
