Hello Tux and thanks,

do you really have a monitor 1014 x 317 mm? Or you get wrong answers too?

I tried with MobaXterm and I get other wrong results

xdpyinfo | grep 'dimensions:'

dimensions:    3840x1080 pixels (1016x286 millimeters)

I have two monitors where the desktop is stretched over both, so the dimension in pixels is correct. The dimension in mm is per definition wrong, as the pixels are not of the same size for both displays (I need to replace one of them).

$ inxi | grep res
           resolution: 1: 1920x1080~60Hz 2: 1920x1200~60Hz
$ xdpyinfo | grep dim
  dimensions:    3840x1200 pixels (1014x317 millimeters)

Enjoy, Have FUN! H.Merijn
