/etc/X11/XF86Config:

Section "Monitor"
    [...]
    DisplaySize   541 406
    [...]
EndSection

The two number behind DisplaySize are in millimeters.

Depending on the numbers you enter there and on you number of
horizontal
and vertical pixels you have configured in

Section "Screen"
    [...]
    Modes  	"1280x1024" "1152x870" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480" 
    [...]
EndSection

your DPI value will change.
