Certainly not.

The DisplaySize option is informative: its value is available for
applications that want to display something at a specific physical size.
There are not many applications that do that.

Setting it will not change the shape of circles in most applications. It
will definitely not make the pixels square.

To actually fix the problem, instead of following random suggestions given
in the dark, Gene would need to help himself a bit more, starting by looking
up the native resolution of his screen, then querying the actual resolution
used by X11 (xdpyinfo) and checking which driver was selected by X.org
(/var/log/Xorg.0.log).
