If it's a 1920x1200, try adding
DisplaySize 508 317 to "Monitor" section.

Fixed the DPI issue for me...

When you startx use the -dpi option to set your desired font size.
Font size isn't the point (hah) of DPI.  DPI should reflect the *REAL*
DPI of your display.  Font size adjustment can then be made in the
normal and correct way: adjust the point size.

With a correct DPI setting, a 72 point headline onscreen should be
exactly the same size as the same headline printed on paper.

OK - this is all good and fine, but it begs a few questions:

1. Why all this mucking about with DPI settings? With some versions of the nvidia driver my fonts are all oversized on the primary display, but are suddenly normal sized with a twinview display. With other versions of the driver, the fonts are consistently same size whether I am twinviewing or not.

2. The re-running the gnome-settings-daemon is a hack that I picked up somewhere. Why does this "fix" things? I don't use gnome and when I just checked I saw that my "gnome-control-center" dies with a 'The Application "gnome-control-center' has quit unexpectedly.' (it's been doing this for a long time now) so I can't confirm if this sets display DPI somewhere. I trolled through 'kcontrol' but couldn't easily find any DPI settings.
