Well, do you think figuring out the correct dpi value for ServerArgsLocal is
easier for a newbie than adding
DisplaySize 284 213 # width and height in mm of the display
to the Monitor section? And anyone asking what I mean with 'correct dpi'
value has already proven that I'm right ;)
Note: Both DisplaySize or -dpi settings is only necessary if the gfx
driver and monitor can't exchange the DisplaySize information automaticly.

more with next xorg release.

That's is almost always wrong ;) Are you sure that your monitor has
100 dpi?
If your fonts are too small _and_ dpi is right. the right thing is to
use bigger fonts that to fake dpi value. Remember dpi == dot per inch
and what an inch and a dot is, is well defined. I really prefer that
A4 or letter printout have exactly the same size as the paper.

It's wrong. DisplaySize is the right thing (tm).
