I have the same problem (negative reported DPI) when using an Ubuntu 17.10 VMWare guest running Wayland. This triggers a problem that makes it impossible to zoom in Evince (https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=774567). Apparently, my monitor size is detected as 0mm x 0mm.
I'd be happy to give more information, please let me know if and how I can help! Thanks! ** Bug watch added: GNOME Bug Tracker #774567 https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=774567 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to xorg-server in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1650192 Title: Screen DPI detected incorrectly by xdpyinfo Status in xorg-server package in Ubuntu: Expired Bug description: xdpyinfo reports wrong resolution screen #0: dimensions: 5120x1024 pixels (1354x270 millimeters) resolution: -2147483648x-2147483648 dots per inch It worked correctly with analog outputs, after switch to digital one, this bug appeared.
