I think my real confusion was that there was no xorg.conf file. When I found
that this was expected behavior, I think this bug is not a bug.
The only thing I can add is that I have now installed the proprietary nvidia
drivers. Still without an xorg.conf file. With the nvidia drivers, the display
size is sensed. With the x.org drivers, it is not sensed, and is set
incorrectly. In both cases the resolution is correct. I mean the physical size.
When the display size is incorrect, the fonts are very small - but still
relatively in proportion in and within applications (kde desktop). When the
display size is correct, the font proportions look crappy. For example, in
firefox, the menu fonts are rather large, while the content fonts are always
extremely small. In the KDE desktop, the fonts under icons look too big. In
YaST, in the Package Groups list, the font is unusually big compared to the
fonts used elsewhere in Yast.
I realize this appears to veer of the bug topic. But it was this odd font
behavior that made me look at xorg.conf in the first place.
