Bill, FWIW, I have for years now been using the services of

Setting 'top' to 0.1 second updates seems to show kdeinit, X, init,

Not sure I followed this. 1280 pixels across 301 mm = ~108 dpi. But does
this cause X to change something about how it displays things?
I was under the assumption that it was a 75dpi vs 100dpi thing related
entirely to which font set to choose (or how to display the font perhaps).
