I have just tested the proposed packages on HP nw8240 with ATI FireGL
V5000 (PCIE) with 15.4" (310x210mm), 1920x1200 panel. As expected, this
workaround causes that DPI is hardcoded to 96 - xdpyinfo diff:

Side effect of this change is the fact that now fonts are two small - I would 
need to increase the font size to get some readable font size.
I think this is step back for high-resolution displays (>120 DPI), as they will 
get fonts (and other UI widgets) smaller then they are defined (in terms of pt).
