This bug goes back to at least October 2007.  For history and more log files,
and a reference to a possible patch, see

The Radeon driver distributed with Ubuntu 10.04 and earlier distributions does
not correctly detect monitor sizes.  On Dell Latitude D600s with 14 inch
1400x1050 LCD displays, it incorrectly calculates a panel size of 370x277 mm
and a resolution of 96 dpi, instead of the correct 124 dpi. The KDE desktop is
misled by this when converting point sizes to pixels, and displays everything
in unpleasantly small characters.
