Inconsistent screen resolutions depending on how X was started



Hello,

having managed to start X from the console (see other thread), I noticed different font sizes on applications. I traced this down to different screen resolution settings depending on how X was started:

After startx from console:
$ xdpyinfo | egrep '(dimension|resolution)'
  dimensions:    1280x1024 pixels (325x260 millimeters)
  resolution:    100x100 dots per inch

After logging in through kdm:
$ xdpyinfo | egrep '(dimension|resolution)'
  dimensions:    1280x1024 pixels (382x302 millimeters)
  resolution:    85x86 dots per inch

The latter numbers (85x86dpi) are correct, the former are not.

How can this be fixed?

Thanks,
--D.
