Could your X's conception of your monitor's resolution be wrong?  If X
starts while the monitor is off it won't be able to query the physical
screensize, so it assumes something bland like 75dpi (even if you are
running a 100dpi).  The end result is really tiny fonts that are
almost unreadable.

When things are working for me this is what my Xfree86 prints out:

(--) MGA(0): Display dimensions: (400, 300) mm
(--) MGA(0): DPI set to (101, 101)
