There have been a number of posts in the past explaining about how
MythTV is at its best at a X resolution of 100 dpi. However, the
startup scripts for X are buried so deep amongst so many dependencies
it's a bit of a nightmare trying to find out where and how X is
actually started.

On my FC2 system I've found where it's started and this is how you
force X to start at 100 dpi. I think it assumes you use gdm.

Edit /etc/X11/gdm/gdm.conf and in the [server-Standard] section, change:
command=/usr/X11R6/bin/X -audit 0
    to 
command=/usr/X11R6/bin/X -dpi 100 -audit 0

That worked a treat for me. And I didn't have to faff about physically
measuring the screen and trying out a whole load of DisplaySize
settings in xorg.conf that would coerce X into using 100 dpi.

Hope this helps anyone who's been having trouble with this.

Regards,
Phill
