-* for virtualized "hardware DPI" which some applications calculate from the virtual monitor dimensions, you will need a patched [/wiki/Xdummy] driver and [/wiki/FakeXinerama]
+* for virtualized "hardware DPI" which some applications calculate from the virtual monitor dimensions, you will need a patched [/wiki/Xdummy] driver and [/wiki/FakeXinerama] - without a patched dummy driver, the hardware DPI (as reported by xdpyinfo) cannot be updated at runtime and must be set in advance, either in the xorg.conf file or on the xvfb command line
 * many applications will not reload the DPI settings, so they must be started ''after'' the client connects to get the correct DPI value
