Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-driver-ati
Since Hoary up to Feisty Herd2, the xorg ati/radeon driver never detected the
right physical
dimension of the display. So dpi is set to 75 instead of 125. This results
in fonts that almost half as wide and height as it should be.
Using DisplaySize in Monitor section of xorg.conf fixes it, but that's not
autodetection
(as works perfect with i810 on other laptops)
$ grep DisplaySize /etc/X11/xorg.conf
DisplaySize 286 214
$ xdpyinfo | egrep 'dimens|resolu'
dimensions: 1400x1050 pixels (287x215 millimeters)
resolution: 124x124 dots per inch
** Affects: xorg (Ubuntu)
Importance: Undecided
Status: Unconfirmed

ati radeon driver does not autodetect displaysize on Latitude D600, therefore
uses wrong resolution
