https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=89820 All the information
you need for what's happening on my FullHD 15.6"

And I do not agree this to be an "enhancment" as you are forced to use
LXDE (Which is the only one it will respect your HARD WORK ON SETTING
THE DPI AND DIMENSION) while all the other DE's / WM's will ignore that
(As it's supposed Xorg is getting the "right" dimension DPI) and After
that you must search and look up how to force Firefox, Mozilla, Skype
(not supported) Chromium (Not supported) Pidgin, etc, etc applications
which will just ignore the Operating system set DPI.

That's not at all an enhancment!

Title:
  Ignores physical display size and calculates based on 96DPI

Status in X.Org X server:
  Confirmed
Status in xorg-server package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  The X server, starting with 1.7, ignores the physical size reported by
  the EDID or in xorg.conf and calculates it based on screen resolution
  and a DPI of 96.

  This is rather annoying for users of high DPI screens.

  GNOME and KDE (used?) to set 96 DPI by default in their settings.  We
  should check whether they still do, and if so let them handle this; I
  don't think X should be handling this.
