HAL policy file to change DPI

I have Acer Aspire One... X works pretty much out of the box without xorg.conf file. Problem is that HAL doesn't seem to detect the DPI correctly... could someone please post the correct policy file to make fonts smaller?

Re: HAL policy file to change DPI

Have you tried editting your startx file?

vim /usr/bin/startx

Find the line that says:
defaultserverargs=""

and add your dpi like this:
defaultserverargs="-dpi 96"

Or you could add the following line to your .Xdefaults

Xft.dpi:96
