Bug#364545: Further investigation



It seems that when no server arguments are given in /etc/gdm/gdm.conf,
the default arguments include -dpi 96 instead of just leaving it up to
the xserver to decide the dpi. That means the only way to have the
xserver use the values of xorg.conf, or the values read from the
monitor, is to specify the arguments to the server and leave out -dpi.
The arguments need to be specified with 0=/path/to/X something -dpi 78
-something, and not with command= like earlier.

I think it's a bad thing that the default behaviour when there are no
specified arguments is to give a dpi value to the server. If I'm wrong
and this is indeed a good thing, then it should at least be more clearly
documented.

Since this is a gdm problem, I believe this bug report should be moved
to gdm.
