In response to the objections to your original patch (which gave improved but still incorrect results on one machine, different but just as incorrect results on another, and according to the documentation for the system calls involved could likely give worse results in many circumstances), you produced a patch to allow the user to fix up incorrect display size/dpi settings, but others pointed out that users of multiple displays could be worse off with such a patch. So have you given up on that and returned to trying to get your original patch accepted?
