Is DisplaySize the only thing you did?

When everything works the way it's supposed to, X does correctly
determine DPI. Working as it should simply doesn't happen often enough.
It requires properly functioning DDC, which older displays don't have or
don't have correctly implemented; and which many (most?) modern flat
panel displays don't have correctly implemented, since it isn't required
for acceptable windoze operation.
