Comment 5 for bug 204065

No, the issue is not an xorg configuration issue. The xserver in Hardy is actually able to automatically detect all the device stuff, so it is no longer necessary to manually configure them. The issue you're having is that your monitor is (probably) mis-reporting its physical dimensions, so the DPI calculations are wrong, and the font gets displayed incorrectly.

What we do to fix these issues is to put in a quirk for your exact monitor model. Please attach your Xorg.0.log and tell me the exact monitor manufacturer and model (or laptop manufacturer and model if it's a laptop).

Note that X configurations using i810 are no longer supported, and that driver will be deprecated entirely as of Intrepid.
