This is only peripherally related to Enlightenment, but it applies to 
third-party applications run here, so I hope it is not too OT and apologize if 
it is.

I'm running a 7-inch screen that has 168-dpi resolution. This means that 
everything is incredibly tiny, because the sane world assumes 96-dpi. For 
Enlightenment things and many other desktops, you can set scaling in the 
desktop itself, which I've done. But E is the only desktop I have installed on 
this machine, so any other application I run -- well, *most* others -- is 
postage-stamp sized with text like that of those tiny Bibles they used to sell 
in the back of the Sunday supplement (such as the ProtonMail I'm using to write 
this).

Somewhere before we get to login there is some configuration file that tells 
X11 to use a specific screen resolution. I have searched and searched and 
cannot find that file. My savior thusfar has been a set of 3x reading glasses I 
accidentally bought. Not ideal.

There being people here who have forgotten more about all this since breakfast 
than I have ever known, I figure there is probably someone here who knows the 
name of that file and perhaps even the syntax to tell it to use 168 dots per 
inch. Anybody know? I know it can be done, because it worked when the machine 
was new seven years ago, running Ubuntu. But I've blown that off for Debian 
Trixie.

Thanks.
