Or am I miscalculating > dpi with the standard 1280x1024 17" flatpanel? I find 100 dpi unusable on my 1280x1024 17" TFT (which is the default here). Most applications pretty much ignore those settings. But e.g. konqueror fonts are ridiculously big. I forced it back to 75dpi via DisplaySize in my xorg.conf and it looks much better for me.
