Sadly, if you want mature hiDPI support then we're going to have to take
Xorg out of the equation...

The fix Chris did seems like a reasonable workaround. It just removes
some of the functionality I was asked to add. However it doesn't qualify
as Critical (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Importance)

** Changed in: xorg-server (Ubuntu)
   Importance: Critical => High

** Summary changed:

- Xmir scaling needs a way of adjusting for monitor connections
+ Xmir reports the phone DPI even on external monitors

Title:
  Xmir reports the phone DPI even on external monitors

Status in canonical-pocket-desktop:
  Fix Committed
Status in xorg-server package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  on latest image, adjust GRID_UNIT_PX to ~8 globally for unity8, all
  the native unity8 applications look correct when running on a Nexus 4
  & attached to external monitor

  install puritine, launch FF, while attached to external monitor.
  Scaling is incorrect (large) due to xmir dpi being based on physical
  phone screen - need a way to tweak/hack to make FF appear usable.
