I'm running x.org 7.5 on Debian Testing, on a ThinkPad T400 laptop.
For some reason, it detects the internal display as 96 DPI, when it's
actually 107 DPI. What's the best way to let x.org know the internal
display's actual DPI?

In GNOME and KDE that setting can be tweaked from "fonts settings" (in
the former) and "user settings/control center" (in the latter).

I noticed the "fonts settings" control in GNOME, but this doesn't pass
the DPI to other programs that check the system DPI setting, such as
Adobe Reader.

For Acrobat Reader I can't tell -I do not use it nor have it installed,
but knowing Adobe's policies, it does not surprise me so much (Adobe
products are not very well integrated within linux systems) :-)

What other programs are causing you troubles?

I wonder if that's where setting it as an attribute of X as Nick
suggested rather than the desktop manager has an advantage? - John
