Ah, but the sample server is lacking a -dpmm switch....

We got the protocol right, and spec'd things in Millimeters...

Now the sample server sets -dpi; silly....  And the sample
server has other inch disease...

In my new multi-screen driver, I chose to do it right, and
do millimeters...  Now I find we convert from inches to mm
and back to inches in our R4 ddx with the new driver...

When I get a moment, I'll file a bug report.
