Re: mm vs DPI: with VGA, physical size is already available. aux/vga can=20
report it accurately, at least on my server.

I think /dev/draw/geom giving both virtual size in pixels and physical=20
size in mm is the right approach. An=C2=A0 additional event to tell=20
applications it has changed would also be useful.

Possibly also a read/write /dev/draw/dpi or something would also be nice,=
=20
and make it nice and easy to change DPI on demand.
