It appears this is the bug I am seeing in Lucid Lynx.
I used
Option "ModeDebug" "true"
and see the correct size read for the monitor in Xorg.0.log .
xdpyinfo reports
resolution: 96x96 dots per inch
I am also using the "intel" driver.
Setting DisplaySize in xorg.conf also has no effect.
Setting DPI by the -dpi parameter from the command line works.

This computer has 2 LCDs attached.
1 LVDS
1 VGA
The LVDS monitor is disabled in xorg.conf.

It is not entirely the same, but perhaps this bug i related to Bug #201491.

I tested whether I could be observing Bug #246718. This is not.

ogc, would you please update the title to reflect that this is a more generic bug in not setting the DPI?
