After some googling and some searching of the files in my system (reading startup scripts, etc) I think that xrandr may be the culprit. It seems to be forcing square DPI. I found a setting using xrandr from terminal that will change this and all works well until reboot. Adding the command to a script and running it at logon, does not seem to work however. I think it has to do with the timing of the scripts that are running.<br>

It did help indeed! I thought I had checked that file but I did not see the line setting the doing to 96. Taking that out allowed me to use the displaysize setting in xorg.conf and all works as it should.</p>
