Fair enough.

I don't want to push too much, but up until now all feedback to this bug
has been (or at least this is how it reads to me):

- autodetection of DPI is deprecated
- 96 dpi ought to be enough for anybody :)

Does this mean you agree that under normal circumstances the DPI should
be the one detected from EDID and 96 is just a fall-back value in case
auto-detection fails? Because I don't believe anyone here disagrees 96
should be uses as *fall-back*, we just don't want it *overriding*
correctly auto-detected values.

Thanks for reading,
Andrei
