DPI setting



Sorry,
I have not been able to find the answer, even if I KNOW it must be a FAQ :(

I have a debian installation and I use a relatively high resolution monitor (1600x1200).
It works fine but it is convinced I have 75x75 DPI, so everything is *very* small.
Real resolution is about 110x110 DPI.
How can I convince xorg X server to use another setting?
I tried the monitor calibration process, but that didn't change anything.
xdpyinfo still reports:
..
dimensions: 1600x1200 (524x486 millimiters) <=== the real dimensions are (360x266 mm)
resolution: 75x75 dots per inch <=== the real resolution is about 110x110 DPI
..

what should I tweak?

TiA
