In /etc/X11/xorg,conf, in the "Monitor" section:
Section "Monitor" DisplaySize 417 333 ... EndSection
First number is width and second is height, in mm. IYAW, This is for a bigger display than on my laptop.
If using Intel video driver, and possibly using others, DisplaySize may be ignored by the driver. https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=331609
You can still change the resolution using xrandr --dpi 100 or whatever resolution instead of "100" you like. I inserted the above line in my ~/.xinitrc near the end.
You can see in the bug the assignee suggested to put it in Xsetup, but as a workaround for the Intel's driver's ignorance. It is not progress to find a new driver makes us do things manually that used to be done automatically. A n00b installing for the first time is unlikely to be pleased, much less know what manual intervention he needs to do. -- "The basis of our Bill of Rights comes from the teachings we get from Exodus and St. Matthew, from Isaiah and St. Paul.
