Installer has wrong DPI - PC-BSD Forums

Hey everyone, I'd like to migrate from linux to bsd but i have a problem getting through the PCBSD installation. The installer incorrectly detects the DPI of my display. With linux distros I can fix this after installation by putting Option "DPI" "96 x 96" in my /usr/X11/xorg.conf file. Can anyone tell me how to do this before starting the PCBSD installer? Thanks in advance!

If you hit the option to boot to emergency console, you should be able
to get to a shell and tweak
/etc/X11/xorg.conf before starting the graphical installer.

Oh, you just type "exit" in the shell to go back to the menus, then you
can navigate back to the main one, which lets you start the GUI installer.
