The 1:6.7.192-3 and 1:6.7.192-4 ATI display driver fails to
honour 'DisplaySize' in my xorg.conf, leading to a bad DPI setting.
The monitor section of my xorg.conf looks like this:
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Generic Monitor"
Option "DPMS"
HorizSync 28-76
VertRefresh 43-85
DisplaySize 328 246
#Apparently depreciated, but does the trick...
Option "PreferredMode" "1152x864"
#Default mode "1152x864": 108.0 MHz, 67.5 kHz, 75.0 Hz
Modeline "1152x864" 108.00 1152 1216 1344 1600 864 865 868 900

My Xorg.0.log says:
(II) RADEON(0): Output VGA-0 using initial mode 1152x864
after xf86InitialConfiguration
(**) RADEON(0): Display dimensions: (328, 246) mm
(**) RADEON(0): DPI set to (148, 123)(II) RADEON(0): Output VGA-0 using
initial mode 1152x864
after xf86InitialConfiguration
(**) RADEON(0): Display dimensions: (328, 246) mm
(**) RADEON(0): DPI set to (148, 123)
You can clearly see it's not honouring the display size, and subsequently
giving me wacky DPI settings.
My current solution is to run:
xrandr --fbmm 328x246
That both corrects he display size, and fixes the dpi for subsequent
applications. I know KDE allows the user to force the dpi to 96 or 120, but I
prefer to use my 'proper / literal' dpi of 89 at 1152x864.
