This bug has been indirectly resolved during 9.10.  There is no longer a
special gdm-cdd.conf to contain this launch parameter, so DPI is
determined by X on it's own now.

Status in Mythbuntu, Ubuntu derivative focused upon MythTV: Fix Released

Bug description:
Title says it all.

Fonts were unreadable on my TV because GDM was not set up to use -dpi 100. Since we already fiddle with GDM config when we configure auto login, it#d be cool to add -dpi 100 in there. I think that was also done in ubuntu-mythtv-frontend.

I've remedied this problem for now by adding this in gdm.conf-custom:
[server-Standard]
name=Standard server
command=/usr/bin/X -br -audit 0 -dpi 100
flexible=true
