I'm seeing this bug too with the nouveau driver:

[   745.858] (**) NOUVEAU(0): Display dimensions: (330, 210) mm
[   745.858] (**) NOUVEAU(0): DPI set to (129, 127)
...
[   745.892] (II) NOUVEAU(0): Setting screen physical size to 444 x 277

I noticed this after switching from the proprietary nvidia driver, and
this is a *huge* regression for me. X should *not* try to fix bugs in
some programs by lying to all of them.

Right now I'm using "xrandr --fbmm" from my .xinitrc, but this is just
an ugly hack -- I'll probably get back to nvidia next time I have to
plug my laptop to a projector.

Environment: Arch Linux x86_64, Linux 3.0.4, xorg-server 1.11.0.
