The HP X server can be told the screen size by setting the diagonal size
in the /usr/lib/X11/X0screens configuration file.  Since the screen size
depends on the monitor and the monitor can be of various sizes, the
server depends on you to configure the size.  The line to set the size
should look something like "/dev/crt monitorsize 480  # in millimeters".
