Bug Description
Binary package hint: xserver-
With the nouveau driver, my screen is forced to 96 DPI (as reported by ‘xdpyinfo | grep resolution’), and fonts look too small. This did not happen with the binary nvidia driver, which correctly detects my 129×127 DPI display.

I should also mention that this also happens just by starting X from the console with no clients running inside it (so it is not GNOME resizing the screen or anything like that).
It happens with both the stock maverick packages and today’s xorg-edgers PPA.
