That's quite easy. My monitor measures 17.05x10.67" (20" widescreen),
and has 1680x1050 pixels.
1680 / 17.05 = 98.53 DPI
1050 / 10.67 = 98.41 DPI
:~$ xdpyinfo | grep resolution
resolution: 99x98 dots per inch
To let X (and GNOME) know about the resolution, I added a line to
the Monitor section of /etc/X11/xorg.conf, which gives information about
the displaysize in mm:
DisplaySize 433 271
