You can't set the dpi within POV-Ray itself, but you can do it 
'after-the-fact' with virtually any graphics editing program.  In 
PaintShop Pro, for example, it's a setting in the resize dialog box.
Oops, that's Windows -- I now noticed you said Linux.  In the Gimp, it's 
Image->Print Size.

All this does is change a data value in the header of the image file -- 
it does absolutely nothing to the image itself.

In your requested picture, 213 x 161 mm is 8.39 x 6.34 inches, so at 300 
dpi it's 2516 x 1902 pixels.
