+xserver-xorg-video-glamo for Debian
+-----------------------------------
+
+The Glamo X.Org video driver reports to the Xserver the correct DPI
+value based on the display size and resolution.  The following formula
+can be used to calculate the exact DPI value for a given resolution
+(in pixel) and size (in mm):
+
+  resolution * 25.4 / size = DPI
+
+Given that the Openmoko Neo FreeRunner (GTA02) touch screen has a size
+of 2.84" (43mm x 58mm) and a resolution of 480x640 pixels, the above
+formula gives 284x280 DPI values, which are the ones reported by
+xdpyinfo and are very similar to the construction value of 285 DPI.
+
+However, some GTK+ applications can not automatically cope with this
+value and they show big fonts, because UNIX traditionally has used
+lower values, typically 96 DPI, regardless of display size or
+resolution.  The suggested workaround is to specify your preferred
+value in ~/.Xresources:
+
+  Xft.dpi: 96
+
