DPI = dots per inch That depends on: a) the monitor size (in inches) b) the screen size (in dots) The monitor size is usually detected by XFree86, but can be set in XF86Config. In a section describing the monitor, add the following line: Display Size <x> <y> Where <x> and <y> are resp. the width and height of the monitor's pixel area in millimeters. See 'man XF86Config'. So the display size of your monitor is fixed, and the dot density changes with each resolution. Cheers, Leen
