Re: 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?

Add this line in "Monitor" Section of xorg.conf :
DisplaySize 360 266
