My CRT measures 16in on the diagonal. When I run;


xdpyinfo | grep resolution

resolution:    102x108 dots per inch


I setup my monitor during install with the xorg X11 configuration. To 
reconfigure I use "dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86"

I have no idea how dpi fits in to the configuration of a monitor.

Hopefully some on the list can give some help.
