Xqt and physical geometry

[datajerk]

xqt reports with xwininfo and xdpyinfo that the physical screen size is 8mmx6mm.  This effects some applications.  Should probably be 75x56.

I have had no luck contacting the developers.  Has any other had this problem or has a solution?

Please run xdpyinfo and let me know if you see the same.

Thanks.

Same here 6x8mm - that explains the ruddy great big fonts some apps show.

Will need to get hold of the source and see what causes this problem

I dug though the source from http://cvs.sourceforge.jp/cgi-bin/viewcvs....ar.gz?tarball=1 and have been unable to determine where this value it set or read.

I find it interesting that 2 of us have the problem and one does not.  Can I assume that we are all running Xqt 0.9 server?  If so then whatever call is made to Qt to get the physical geometry may be suspect or perhaps Qt is wrong.  What versions of Qt are you running?  (ls -l /lib/QtPalmtop/lib/*qt*)

Any other ideas?  I am not opposed to a one-off hack to get this fixed.

What are you running it on? ced is obviously using a 5600 (from the screen size & the sig). Perhaps the issue is with the C7/8xx machines?

I\'m runnig Xqt 0.9 on a C760, with the stock qt (1.5.4 me thinks) for the qte-2.3.2

I\'m running 0.0.8, 0.0.9 didn\'t work for me...

[mjotad]

I\'m running Xqt 0.0.9 with Cacko rom 1.19 and I have the same problem - maybe this is why I can\'t get any gtk2 apps to run?

EDIT: Oops, forgot - on a C-760

[datajerk]

gtk, Tk, and many other apps make calls to DisplayWidthMM and DisplayHeightMM, both are reported incorrectly by Xqt running on my c860 with Cacko 1.21a.

I tested with some pain on my old 5500 w/ Sharp ROM 2.38.  The 5500 reported 3x4mm.

Following ced\'s lead I took the Xqt binary from the 0.0.8 ipkg, renamed the 0.0.9 Xqt to Xqt-0.9, took the 0.0.8 and named it Xqt-0.8 and symlinked it to Xqt.  Ran my startx script and xdpyinfo now reports:

Code: [Select]

screen #0:

  dimensions:    640x480 pixels (217x163 millimeters)

  resolution:    75x75 dots per inch

My tcl/tk and perl/tk apps now look perfect.

I cannot read the Japanese Changelog entries in the CVS to determine what broke, but will try to get the 0.8 source from the CVS and try to find the differences.

Since my immediate needs are now met it may be sometime before I get  to this.  I depends on other problems that I may have.  I was planning on some other improvements as well.  E.g. user definable mouse keys and more urgently fixing the conflicts with Cacko 1.21a keyboard mapping and some X apps.

Thank you for all your support.

P.S. I just took a quick look, I think the only difference from .8 to .9 is rotation support.

Following your lead, i uninstalled 0.9 and installed 0.8 instead - and it works! Finally openoffice over ssh in qtopia without the fonts going huge!! Thanks Guys :-)

Now if stubear could just explain how he got the pdaxrom to display in XQt, I would be set!
