Again, many (most?) monitors lie about display size/DPI. (I assume this
is because someone working for the vendor decided that things look
better with the reported information.)
I think X (and your video driver) are doing things right, but your
monitor is wrong. However, since you use X, which gives /you/ control,
you can fix your broken monitor. :)
Just specify it (and, again, you can specify DisplaySize, which can be
specified per monitor) and all is well.
Note, also that in any Xinerama-style setup (including TwinView, etc.),
you /must/ specify the "Display on screen: Run on the specified screen
or spanning all screens." and "Monitor aspect ratio: The aspect ratio of
a Xinerama display cannot be queried from the display, so it must be
specified." setting values in Appearance settings since we don't get
useful information from X.
