I verified whether display dpi was correctly detected by Alpha4 (the screenshots above), and yes dpi was correct.
DPI was detected as 134 dpi, this is the correct value for eee's 1024x600 9" screen.

It seems that fonts are correctly adjusted for high dpi, but correctly displayed 10pt font simply becomes too big for a 9" screen to run installer.

As a suggestion, maybe on for smaller, high-dpi screens dpi detection could adjust default font size too?
For example, "if less than N lines of default size text fit on the screen, reduce default font size to fit at least N lines" ?
This would be more elegant solution than forcing user to change to a fake 96 dpi.
