  Hey, this would be a nice feature. It could provide the basis for font&output scaling on smaller screens of the same resolution in new and innovative desktop environments like f.i. KDE4. However such features will be blocked as long as they are not supported by the driver!

Does this issue occur with the preferred ati driver (xf86-vide-ati)?  If so, please move this to the Driver/Radeon component.  

Development of radeonhd has pretty much halted and development focus is on the ati driver.  Please see http://www.x.org/wiki/radeonhd

If the issue does not exist in the ati driver (or if there is no response to this message), this bug will be closed as WONTFIX unless someone contributes a patch.

Comment 3 Jeremy Huddleston Sequoia 2011-11-07 15:06:57 UTC

Closing due to lack of response.  Please reopen and move to the Driver/Radeon 
component if this issue persists with xf86-video-ati
