On first initialization/startup.
Than, after "changing dpi settings", X server can be restarted.
So, it will be *fresh-started*

BTW: there was discussion some time ago how to change bpp for X server.
I guess this is very common to it.
So, offering "dpi" changing option, we can add "color depth" option as well.

Yes ;-)

Unfortunately, I don't have such directory.
I am on KDE 2.2alpha2. Is it recent enough?
Anyway, how I can add/rebuild it manually or semi-automatically?

Not really. There is no ".xserverrc" sample file in docs, for example. I have 
checked. (but many examples of .xinitrc)

This will be very helpful. Thanks in advance!

P.S. running X now at 96dpi, from KDM. Everything looks very nice, fonts on 
most sites are rendered at very pleasant *size*
Dirk, Lars, thanks a lot for tips!
