Although the FAQ is technically correct; think of the use-case. "Monitor
Size" for X is generally with your face 2 feet from the screen. What is the
"Monitor Size" when you are 30 feet away (to your eye)?
Here is what the "Monitor" section of my XFree86-4 looks like:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
# Little Text
# DisplaySize 400 300
# DisplaySize 360 270
# DisplaySize 320 240
# DisplaySize 280 210
# DisplaySize 240 180
DisplaySize 200 150
# DisplaySize 160 120
# DisplaySize 120 90
# DisplaySize 80 60
# DisplaySize 40 30
# HUGE Text
I just uncomment out different lines until it is "just right". Each TV in
my house used a different line to be just right. It is a balancing act, I
would be amazed at any system that work at 40x30!...be somewhere between
both ends will be just right for you.
Hope that helps,
Todd

First thing to do is make sure you are running at 100dpi.
There is some info here:
