[HD 3300] Oversized Text with fglrx in Kubuntu Jaunty

[jiri]

Hello,

i am using the release candiate of Kubuntu 9.04 and have installed fglrx with the included GUI installer. After a reboot the fonts in KDE are totaly oversized. Like it is descibed in the bugs:
bug #353074
bug #219629
My Display is an Asus VW161 wich is a 16.1" 16:9 LCD with a max resolution of 1360x768. The LCD is connected to the vga out of my mobos IGP Radeon HD 3300. As described here
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Troubleshooting/HugeFonts i have read the Xorg.log and found
(II) fglrx(0): clock: 85.5 MHz Image Size: 34 x 19 mm
So i think a qurik is needed for my setup. Or is there another workaround to tell X that my Monitors dimensions are 34 cm x 19 xm and not 34 mm x 19 mm. With the vesa drive i have no problem. I have attached my Xorg.log.

Hi jirikraus,

Please attach the output of `lspci -vvnn`, and attach your /var/log/Xorg.0.log (and maybe Xorg.0.log.old) file from after reproducing this issue. If you've made any customizations to your /etc/X11/xorg.conf please attach that as well.

Sorry that i have not attached the xorg.0.log in the first place. I have accidently missed something.

Adding
Xft.dpi: 101
to .Xdefaults solved the issue for me.

I've posted a new version of the -fglrx driver to our xorg-edgers PPA,
would you mind testing it either on Jaunty or Karmic and see if it
resolves this bug?

Get fglrx 8.620 here:

Hello,

sorry that it took so long. I have tested the fglrx driver from your ppa, but it does not fix the problem. I have attached the Xorg.0.log from the new fglrx driver.
I am using another monitor now (EIZO L568), with this Monitor i do not have any Issues. I have attached the Xorg.0.log with this monitor also.

Thanks for your support.

Jiri

This bug report was filed against an old version of Ubuntu.
Can you confirm whether this is still an issue in natty?

If you don't mind, it would be very helpful if you could update the bug
report in launchpad to 'Fix Released' if it is no longer an issue for
you, or if it is still occurring under natty, please tag the bug 'natty'
so it's easier for us to track.
