Bug#563642: xserver-xorg-video-intel: wrong dpi with kernel mode setting enabled

[denk]

 Seems that upstream has a solution for that problem: 
http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=23705#c17

Could that commit be included in the next update?

If/when it gets committed upstream, probably.

Cheers,

 My notebook screen is a 15.4'' wide screen. The resolution is 1680x1050. But 
 with kernel modesetting enabled, and the intel driver and X server from 
 experimental, the dpi value is 96x96, which is far from the correct value (I 
 think something over 130 dpi is right).

 Not a bug in the driver, or related to kms at all.  This is due to a
 change in the X server, see
 http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=23705#c6

This seems insane if nothing automatically takes care to set a proper
dpi value. Is there anything planned? Considering the fact that the real
dpi value for modern displays increases steadily, this will otherwise be
an unnecessary annoyance for most users. On my notebook's screen, I feel
a pain in my eyes with those small fonts.
