I tried Option "DisplaySize" "340 270" It doesnt seem to do anything
for the nvidia driver: '(WW) NVIDIA(0): Option "DisplaySize" is not used'
and with the nv driver the only thing different is i get two small
and funky mouse cursors :-)

xdpyinfo gives:
screen #0:
  dimensions:    1280x1024 pixels (342x271 millimeters)
  resolution:    95x96 dots per inch
  depths (7):    24, 1, 4, 8, 15, 16, 32

and...
screen #0:
  dimensions:    800x600 pixels (344x272 millimeters)
  resolution:    59x56 dots per inch
  depths (7):    24, 1, 4, 8, 15, 16, 32

So i guess i just have to figure out how to get 95x96 dots per inch in
800x600.

thx,
sa
