Pixel Density is incorrect on Linux

Reported by matt.t.g...@gmail.com, Apr 10 2017

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/57.0.2987.110 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. On a linux laptop with a high pixel density screen (In my case the Dell XPS 13, open Chrome.
2. If the UI is normal, plug the laptop into a normal density screen.
3. Unplug the screen, restart Chrome.

What is the expected behavior?
Chrome should open with the correct density and be usable when started fresh.

What went wrong?
After killing and re-opening chrome, the density doesn't correct itself, meaning the UI for Chrome is too small to be usable.

I've attached a screenshot where the left is Chrome unstable and the right screen is Chrome stable.

Did this work before? Yes

Seeing Stable on left. If unstable is not working from your end then this is probably same as  Issue 707349 .

matt.t.gaunt@: Could you please confirm if this works fine on stable and issue is seen on unstable.


Yes, stable works, unstable doesn't.
