Somebody has just reminded me about xserverc, and there was in fact
-dpi 100 option which caused the trouble. After removing it, it works
fine:

screen #0:
  dimensions:    1024x768 pixels (292x217 millimeters)
  resolution:    89x90 dots per inch

Maybe you add a hint about this to the DisplaySize description in
XF86Config(5x)?

MfG,
Eduard.
