It's not probed via DDC. The monitor size is, and a DPI calculation
is made from that and the resolution, which of course, makes no sense
at all for virtual desktops. Seeing how many applications rely on
DPI to be reasonable, I think the business of seeding these values
with data aquired from DDC should be rethought. There isn't a
single DPI value for the life of the X session.
