Well, I know about xorg.conf.
And reading the man page, I see somethings I used to set here, like the
size of the screen in mm are now missing.

Setting the Monitor type, as suggested by Dan, is not possible, as the
Monitor (a flat screen Samsung) is newer than the Fedora release...

I just had a feeling, that there was someplace else.
That by setting SOMETHING I could determine whether X11 used
the 75 or 100dpi fonts, and (probably) determined a number of other
things.

xdpyinfo gives a screen size in mm, there must be some place to
overrride that.
