Felix, on SuSE 9.3, under KDE > System > Monitor > X-Server, I show:

If those mm dimensions are accurate, your display aspect ratio is non-standard, and it's using rectangular pixels (hence the unequal dpi values): http://members.ij.net/mrmazda/auth/dpi.html
If I am understanding the linked chart correctly, the numbers also roughly equate to settings for a 19-inch monitor, but mine is a 21-inch (Silicon Graphics). Could that have anything to do with the issue? And I would appreciate a pointer on what changes to make and where to make them. I've never had to mess with X-server settings before. I really appreciate the time you are giving this issue. Hopefully we are working toward a solution that could be incorporated in the SuSE setup script so fewer people will experience a similar issue.
