X has always defaulted to 75 DPI, in the absence of additional
configuration or information such as EDID. Please try to find out why
the effective DPI has changed for you by comparing config and/or log
files, etc.
Also, is the difference actually in the DPI value as reported by
xdpyinfo, or could it just be that the 75 DPI bitmap fonts now precede
the 100 DPI ones in the font path?
