In theory a 'DisplaySize' entry in the monitor section of your xorg.conf
file should do it (see xorg.conf(1))
However I tried it myself a couple of days ago on my Debian Etch
system:
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Generic Monitor"
Option "DPMS"
DisplaySize 230 140
EndSection
and couldn't get it to work:
screen #0:
print screen: no
dimensions: 1280x768 pixels (339x203 millimeters)
resolution: 96x96 dots per inch
Let me know if you have better luck...
If anyone has any idea what might be going wrong, please let me know....
