Title:
  Ignores physical display size and calculates based on 96DPI

Status in X.Org X server:
  Confirmed
Status in “xorg-server” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  The X server, starting with 1.7, ignores the physical size reported by
  the EDID or in xorg.conf and calculates it based on screen resolution
  and a DPI of 96.

  This is rather annoying for users of high DPI screens.

  GNOME and KDE (used?) to set 96 DPI by default in their settings.  We
  should check whether they still do, and if so let them handle this; I
  don't think X should be handling this.
