I have a DECstation 3100 running Ultrix 4.1, and I have a VR160
monitor.  This monitor has 1024x864 pixel resolution with a picture
size of 240mm x 203mm giving x & y resolutions of ~108dpi.  I have
replaced DECwindows with X11R4, but my server thinks that the screen
is 333mm x 281mm which I imagine corresponds to a normal 19" monitor.
Can someone tell me how to configure the X11R4 distribution to fully
realize that it is a ~100dpi screen?  Some specific concerns include:

	- Choosing the 100dpi fonts instead of 75dpi fonts by default.
	- Setting the screen size accurately.

What are the consequences of my current installation which thinks it
is a 78 dpi screen?
