Why do you mean (wrong) ? Do you not get the dpi values used by X? Or is
it that is uses the X values but those are wrong?

Here X gets it from the monitor at start-up (via the logic of the video
card). I did not realize that my situation is not normal.

Somehow, I think setting a proper dpi should ideally be done in X. But
in practice ...

I agree with you that 95 dpi is about the minimum that is being used
today. But I would keep this the minimum: if the dpi is set bigger then
it is probably intentional. Either monitor magic or from a careful
system administration.
