On a fully updated 9.1 system, this option isn't available.

I'm sorry that I haven't got a cooker system to test with - all I can tell you
is that there is definitely a bug in the released (9.1) version, and what you
need to do to fix it. This is a serious bug - in that it makes use of KDE a
misery if not fixed, since all fonts are far too small! (1600x1200 at only 15"
is now becoming common for laptops). Adding the feature would be simple;
alternatively please at least give a reference to it so that people can find the
workaround.

Drakconf should allow you to set the physical size of the display, as well as
the resolution. Otherwise, on a screen such as 15" LCD, at 1600x1200, all the
fonts are tiny.

The following settings are needed:

1)Measure the display size with a ruler

2)Add to XF86Config-4 the line:
    DisplaySize 304 228      (x,y in mm)

3)Find the DPI using 
    xdpyinfo | grep resolution

4)Change the line in /etc/X11/Xresources to:
    Xft.dpi: 133   (result of step 3).

5)Restart X and xfs

Please do add a wizard to do this, or alternatively, mention the possibility in
the documentation...
