Whenever I run xdpyinfo | grep dots in the Terminal I get:

resolution:    96x96 dots per inch

I have a 14" 2560 x 1440 screen, so I understand the dpi of this screen should be anything around 200 dpi. How does Xorg determines which is the correct dpi for the screen? I am not asking how to change the dpi configuration but how is it defined by Xorg.

Apparently Xorg might try to determine your screen size but will not always manage to do that correctly. In that case, one should set the correct screen size for that particular monitor so Xorg will know the dpi.
