Hi Thierry,
It seems Nik has answered (partially or wholly, depending on your knowledge),
although his answer doesn't address using xrandr to expunge the lie that
the screen is 96 DPI.
I use Slackware, and the instructions are (evidently) a bit different for
Slackware than for debian-based distros. I would have put some of these
settings (such as the default GDK_DPI_SCALE) in ~/.xprofile, but maybe
Debian doesn't play nicely with that way of doing things.
(I have convinced Raspbian (based on Debian) to show everything at a
reasonable size on a Hi-DPI monitor, and even though I don't have TDE on
any RPi, if things work on Raspbian + fvwm than you should be able to get
them to work on Debian + trinity.)
Cheers.
Jim
