Hi,

after upgrading my system to oneiric, the X11 desktop is ugly and almost
unusable, because the fonts and characters are stretched horizontally
and blurred.

I guess that the reason is a wrong/odd dpi value, because xdpyinfo says

screen #0:
  dimensions:    1600x1200 pixels (473x302 millimeters)
  resolution:    86x101 dots per inch


I would prefer to simply give X a better dpi value as a command line argument, but as far as I can see that damned lightdm does not allow to configure any command line parameters for X (which I consider as broken design).

Please tell me how oneiric is supposed to deal with that problem.
