xf86-video-ati-6.9.0: DisplaySize is ignored

Hi all,

I updated from version 6.6.3 to 6.9.0 yesterday. With the old release
everything was fine but with the new one I got a slight issue. It's not
a grave one in my case, though.

I have a laptop with a 15.4-inch display (1280x800). Video card is a
Radeon 9200. I have xorg-server-1.3.0.0 and maybe that's the problem
(its xrandr support might just be too old or a little broken).

I have DisplaySize set to '331 207' but this is ignored (despite the
driver using the proper monitor section for the used output, which is
LVDS). xdpyinfo reports:

	dimensions:    1280x800 pixels (338x211 millimeters)
	...
	resolution:    96x96 dots per inch

It should report:

	dimensions:    1280x800 pixels (331x207 millimeters)
	...
	resolution:    98x98 dots per inch

Is this a typical case of "Your xorg-server is _too_ old"?

Thanks!

Kind regards
Sebastian
