Again, this must have been either due to the driver obtaining additional
information, e.g. via EDID, or due to configuration, either via the
DisplaySize directive in the xorg.conf Monitor section or via the -dpi

Weird, the command line switch should always override anything else.
Have you confirmed that the switch is actually passed to the X server,
e.g. using ps?
