I don't understand what you mean by "100% zoom", but I understand the need for
correct DPI.

We can assign monitor sections per-connector for randr-1.2 drivers, so we can
easily arrange for the LVDS to always be right (since you presumably never
change which monitor is attached to it).  So in the case where monitors are
swapped regularly, I guess this still is a problem.

I still think that changing the default behaviour now is a bad idea.  So let's
get a server option to enable autodetection.  I think someone posted a patch
for that earlier...
