I did some research and evidence suggested that XFree86 should be able to 
calculate the resolution automatically, given the correct info.

It obviously wasn't able to pull the LCD display for this info via the 
mechanism described in the manual.

So I took a ruler and manually measured the physical size of the LCD diplay in 
millimeters and entered it into the monitor section of XF86Config-4 using the 
DisplaySize option.

This worked. XFree86 now correctly finds the dpi to be 96x96 dpi.

Thanks for the hints.
