Hmmm . . . I have added this to the xorg.conf, as suggested by -users 
people:
    Option    "DPI"  "346 x 195"
 
But it didn't help -- although -- your mention of xinerama caught my 
attention.

I am using twinview to simultaneously display on my screen and on 
S-Video -- could that be what's causing the confusion?  xorg.conf attached.
