If you start X manually you can use
startx -- -dpi 75
If you log in via kdm you have to edit the file /etc/kde3/kdm/kdmrc.
Find the line which says
ServerArgsLocal=-nolisten tcp
and change it to
ServerArgsLocal=-nolisten tcp -dpi 75
(Make sure to keep the "-nolisten tcp" part; it is important for
security.)
The new setting will take effect after you restart kdm.
