AFAIK it's global per display, and I've had some trouble setting it from
xorg.conf.
However you can set it from your .xinitrc using "xrandr --fbmm". Here's
an example to set it to the actual DPI of your display instead of a
hard-coded value of 96 DPI:
xrandr --fbmm `xrandr | sed -n '/ connected / {s/.* \([0-9]\+\)mm x
\([0-9]\+\)mm/\1x\2/p;q}'`
<rant against="Xorg">
However, you won't need this if you're using the NVIDIA proprietary
driver, because they're doing The Right Thing™: the DPI is set to match
the DPI actually reported by your screen.
Other Xorg drivers (nouveau, intel, radeon or whatever), OTOH, read the
actual DPI from the screen, and then discard it and set it to 96 dpi "to
be consistent with Windows". But hey, don't worry, it's NOTABUG
(https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=23705).
