Carlos,

The chipset is an ATI FireGL.  I've modified the Monitor section:

Section "Monitor"
        Identifier   "Monitor0"
        VendorName   "IBM"
        ModelName    "FlexView 1600x1200"
        DisplaySize  305 229
        Option       "UseEdidDPI" "false"
        Option       "DPI" "133x133"
EndSection

and added the line:

        Option      "NoDDC"

To the Device section per private email from a Sun engineer.

  I still get 96 dpi (from xdpyinfo):

screen #0:
  dimensions:    1600x1200 pixels (423x317 millimeters)
  resolution:    96x96 dots per inch

It appears to ignore the DisplaySize that used to work.

I sure wish working things would not break with updates
and/or new versions.
