In theory a 'DisplaySize' entry in the monitor section of your<...>
xorg.conf file should do it (see xorg.conf(1)) However I tried it

couldn't get it to work.
Let me know if you have better luck. If anyone has any idea what might
be going wrong, please let me know.
Hi,
Depending on how you start X, you may be starting it with the -dpi
option. (my gdm.conf uses: `X -dpi 96')
AFAIK, this will override any DisplaySize settings in xorg.conf.
