But:
  1024/321*25.4 = 81.026
   768/241*25.4 = 80.943

Seems to me X has it very right. That Windows usually doesn't care about
real resolutions and instead fudges with it (consider the Large Font setting
in the Display Control Panel) is probably another issue. Or the metrics this
function requires are not dots per inch but something else.
