I think modern monitors do this automatically somehow, but if you have an older monitor, like mine, you can do it yourself: in XF86Config-4, in the monitor's section you write: DisplaySize Width Height where width and height are in milimeters. than X will calculate the correct dpi for your monitor automatically.
