Does XFree86 1.1 ignore the configuration option DisplaySize?  I'm
running X386 as precompiled for use with CO0 on 386BSD on an ET4000
card, and have (amongst other) in my "vga256" section an entry
"displaysize 320 200" which seems to be ignored.  There are no error
messages output.  I'm starting X by ways of "xdm" if that should have
any bearing on the matter.

xdpyinfo reports back a physical screen size of 346x220 mm whatever
values I put into this configuration line.  What gives?
