Ok. That seems to work. Thanks!.

So Ogle gets the resolution from one place, and the geometry from
anohter? Couldn't that be fixed so that it's consistent?

Xdpyinfo reports: 

screen #0:
  dimensions:    3072x768 pixels (906x232 millimeters)
  resolution:    86x84 dots per inch

which gives just about the right aspect ratio... Somewhere Ogle is
trying to be smart, possibly working around a bug in older Xserver
where the size would be misreported or something.
