Problem resolved by adding a string to /etc/X11/xorg.conf in 'Section
"Device"' NOT in Section "Monitor".
A fragment from working xorg.conf:

Section "Device"
    Identifier        "Default Device"
    Driver    "nvidia"
    Option    "NoLogo"    "True"
    Option    "DPI"        "96x96"
EndSection

Add and restart X session.

$ xdpyinfo |grep reso
  resolution:    96x96 dots per inch

Всего хорошего,
