The startx script is a frontend for xinit, which is the real program 
that starts the X Window System. The double dash means that whatever 
that is at the right is going to be ignored by startx and be passed 
directly to xinit.

So, 'startx -- -dpi 100' means something like : "start X using 'xinit 
-dpi 100' as my command'

Perhaps the syntax have changed. Try 'man xinit' to see the possible 
command line options.
