Currently the drm_hwcomposer can look at EDID data to determine
the DPI for the screen. However, on many 21"+ monitors, the DPI may
be quite low (sub-100), despite having resonable resolution.

Since Android will scale the display to the DPI with touch targets
sized for a phone (assuming you're holding the device), this
results in insanely tiny fonts and very small icons, providing a
bad expeirence on a standard monitor.

To try to remedy this, set a minimum DPI (160dpi) to ensure that
we don't try to scale things down too far.
