it can, if they set different dpi (dots per inch) values when they call X.
This is set by a command line option, for example for startx/xinit
in /etc/X11/xinit/xserverrc (see Karl's message for xdm/gdm):
#!/bin/sh
exec /usr/bin/X11/X -nolisten tcp -dpi 90
90dpi is for a 14" 1024x768 LCD, typical defaults are 75dpi and 100dpi.
Hope this helps
Jürgen
