Actually, the screen size seems to be taken from the maximum resolution
of the modes listed in the MODES entry of your Xconfig file. For example,
after removing my 1176x882 mode from the Modes line and restarting X,
xdpyinfo reported the new maximum resolution (1168x876) even though at
the time I was running in 1080x810. I don't know about the 75dpi - as I
haven't bothered to download and install the 100 dpi fonts yet...
Jean.
