Hello,

I tried to setup the DPI resolution of my display properly. But somehow,
the Xserver does not use the values of DisplaySize setting. They are
apparently parsed since the Xserver breaks on wrong (non-integer)
parameters. However, xdpyinfo also shows

screen #0:
  dimensions:    1024x768 pixels (260x195 millimeters)
  resolution:    100x100 dots per inch

And that is wrong. I measured and calculated my monitors size
(286.512mm x 214.884mm) and set it in XF86Config-4,

        DisplaySize     289 215

Just does not work.

But if I run the Xserver with -dpi 90, it works fine:

screen #0:
  dimensions:    1024x768 pixels (289x217 millimeters)
  resolution:    90x90 dots per inch

Any idea how to make this do right?

MfG,
Eduard.
