Jan, thanks for the reply. Before giving you the results let me clarify 
a couple of points.

1) Before the upgrade to 10.3 (when both the desktop and laptop were 
10.0) images looked the same on both. I could build a powerpoint 
presentation on the desktop and it looked the same on the laptop. 
Pictures looked the same. So prior to the upgrade everything was great.

2) Ignore the laptop for a moment. Powerpoint presentations and .jpgs 
that were on the desktop computer (10.0) prior to the upgrade now look 
wrong on the upgraded desktop (10.3). So images that previously looked 
landscape rectangular on the desktop now look square.

I only mentioned the laptop as a note of comparison between a 10.0 set 
up that seems to work properly and a 10.3 set up that does not.

That said, here's the information you requested:

For the 10.3 desktop being viewed on a 20" Viewsonic 20 monitor:

xdpyinfo | grep resolution      
80X64 dots per inch

xdpyinfo | grep dimensions    
1280X768 pixels 406X305 mm
 
And for the 10.0 LinuxCertified laptop

xdpyinfo | grep resolution
86X84 dots per inch

xdpyinfo | grep dimensions
1024X768 pixels         302X232 mm

Note: the resolution on the laptop cannot be increased. It is at its 
limit.

Thanks!
Gil
