This is a VMware virtual machine using a virtual monitor on a physical |
| 20 |
machine with two physical monitors. I'm not sure whether calculating DPI |

that way would lead to meaningfull results for the virtual machine. This |
| 22 |
whole "hard" setting of DPI for a monitor seems anachronistic to me. |
