Ubuntu 9.04 on netbook Acer AOA150 is also affected. Specifications of
the machine are here:

gnome-display-properties shows proper resolution, and incorrect screen size, as
seen on the attached
there is no recent duplicate so that doesn't seem to confuse that many
users and the value indicated in the correct one, there is no real
reason to workaround it

Wikipedia may shed some light on this issue:

Perhaps the disclaimer should say you're reporting viewable image size.

Ok, wishlist seems good to me.
I also think tricking those diagonals to report marketing data is not
the best solution. By the way, we have lots of CRT monitors at work
because it's a high school, which means we keep using very old computers
(like PIII in departments) along newer ones in
(sorry for delay in answering, Internet broke at home).
Yes, I have these lines:
$ cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep Max H-Image
(II) RADEON(0): Max H-Image Size [cm]: horiz.: 31 vert.: 23
[...]
(II) RADEON(0): Max H-Image Size [cm]: horiz.: 31 vert.: 23
(same line is there 12
On the other hand, with LCD's they report correctly - my BenQ 24
monitor for example shows up with correct dimensions and matches what
it's marketed as. Maybe marketing for CRT monitors use funny marketing?
Anyway, several people have been reporting this issue; I'll leave this
bug open to dupe
Look in your Xorg.0.log for a line like:
(II) RADEON(0): Max H-Image Size [cm]: horiz.: X vert.: Y
That line is what your monitor is reporting of its true capabilities,
and is provided directly from the monitor manufacturer.
Now simply take X and Y, and then calculate the diagonal: D =

Oh, I forgot to say the monitor has a VGA connector, plugged into the PC
to the VGA one.
PC is a desktop with an ATI 9600 XT graphics card, AGP. The card has
VGA, DVI and TV-out connectors, I just use the VGA one.
