DPI or size is ok, easy to convert between if one has the resolution.
Important that one get separate DPI for X and Y though.
It's very useful when you wan't fullscreen video with correct
aspect on a screen.
In non multihead configurations we use the XF86VidMode at the moment
to get the resolution (works when the user has <ctrl><alt><+/->'ed), where
the normal X11 call "fails" (just reports the total area).
