Indeed yes. The included "nv" driver uses 75 dpi, the non-free "nvidia" driver uses 111 dpi. /var/log/Xorg.0.log: (==) NV(0): DPI set to (75, 75) /var/log/Xorg.o.log.old: (--) NVIDIA(0): DPI set to (111, 111); computed from "UseEdidDpi" X config option I found where dpi is defined, thanks for the Mozilla link: /etc/X11/xdm/Xservers: :0 local /usr/X11R6/bin/X vt7 -dpi 100 -nolisten tcp So it looks like neither of them is actually paying attention to the configuration. A google search for "UseEdidDpi" ends up with http://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86/1.0-8174/README/32bit_html/appendix-y.html and from there, putting Option "UseEdidDpi" "FALSE" in the display section along side the driver. This caused X to default back to 75x75 dpi, which is fine, but I still wonder why the definition in Xservers is being ignored. Hmmm...
