I think it is a good idea to enable 1-pixel wide pen, but I'd just
like to point out that the problem of 1-pixel wide pen on XO was not
(only) the DPI, but the color scheme of the display.  The color of a
line drawn by 1-pixel wide pen appears to change in a very interesting
way.  So, solely depending on the DPI would not do it.
