Archived from groups: comp>os>linux>setup (more info?)

hello
my laptop mount an ATI mobility radeon 9700 , my screen resolution is
1280x800
I trying to set the correct rendering of the fonts under ubuntu feisty

$ xdpyinfo | grep -A1 dimen

gives me

dimensions: 1280x800 pixels (339x212 millimeters)
resolution: 96x96 dots per inch

now I try to force the millimeters in the xorg.conf and put something
like this
....
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Generic Monitor"
Option "DPMS"
DisplaySize 344 215
HorizSync 28-51
VertRefresh 43-60
EndSection
.....
Section "Device"
Identifier "ATI Technologies Inc RV350 [Mobility Radeon
9600 M10]"
Driver "ati"
BusID "PCI:1:0:0"
Option "IgnoreEDID" "true"
EndSection
.....

I set the DisplaySize on 344 215 (this is the correct size for my
resolution of 1280x800)
I set also Option "IgnoreEDID" "true" under the Device section

i reboot my laptop but
$ xdpyinfo | grep -A1 dimen
gives me one more time the same millimeters (339x212 millimeters)

It doesn't take the DisplaySize of 344 215 I set under my xorg.conf

Someone knows what's the problem?

here is my xorg.conf
