Do you keep in mind that there is a native X11 way of configuring/querying
this? In XLib, there are not only DisplayWidth/DisplayHeight (returning
#pixels), but also DisplayWidthMM and DisplayHeightMM. These can be
configured (e.g. in xorg.conf) and default to data fetched directly from the
monitor via the DCC (display data channel).
I use to write down the values once and fix them in the config file, otherwise
if you start your computer with the monitor switched off, the DPI will be
wrong and some stuff (like font sizes) change.
Of course, the above will not work out-of-the-box if you attach some TV via
converters, but it would be nice for kaa to default to these values if X11 is
used. (Probably there should be a kaa way to configure this, but the Xorg
config could also be promoted in the docs IMHO.)
