The X server knows the largest physical resolution. Snap the DPI to
100 or 75, whichever is closest, and leave the details to the user. I
check X_RESOLUTION and Y_RESOLUTION in my .Xresources, and set the
default font resolution accordingly. (I specify all my font sizes in
points, not pixels.) It's a shame that so many new applications
support X resources poorly, though.

Do you suggest sending applications a DPI change event when the user
changes video mode?
