Re: mm vs DPI: with VGA, physical size is already available. aux/vga can
report it accurately, at least on my server.
I think /dev/draw/geom giving both virtual size in pixels and physical
size in mm is the right approach. An additional event to tell
applications it has changed would also be useful.
Possibly also a read/write /dev/draw/dpi or something would also be nice,
and make it nice and easy to change DPI on demand.
