1-You can calculate it. Divide the inches your display measures (~12.7" wide)
into the screen resolution (1280px aka dots wide) == ~107 DPI.

2-Look it up in a chart:
	http://fm.no-ip.com/auth/dpi.xhtml
	http://fm.no-ip.com/auth/displays.xhtml

There are several ways to see what X thinks DPI is:

1-http://fm.no-ip.com/auth/dpi-screen-window.html
2-xdpyinfo | grep resolution
3-xrdb -query | grep dpi
4-kcmshell xserver (only if KDE is installed)

All 3 should match, but don't be surprised if they don't. One reason they
might not is that Firefox will not go below 96 unless you change the default
-1 setting of its hidden hidden preference "layout.css.dpi" to 0. Also,
Firefox doesn't round very well, so might be off by 3 purely due to rounding
(e.g. 108 actual has 111 reported).
