Bug ID: 500527
Summary: SDDM widgets are tiny on hi-res screen
Classification: KDE Neon
Product: neon
Version: unspecified
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: Packages Testing Edition
Assignee: neon-b...@kde.org
Reporter: jpe...@petsovits.com
CC: j...@jriddell.org, neon-b...@kde.org
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
On a Framework Laptop 13 with KDE neon (Testing) with 2880x1920 display, the
text box and other controls on the SDDM login screen are tiny. Anyone without
eagle-eyesight will need to bend their head closer to the screen in order to
use it.
SDDM can use kwin_wayland which features automatic scale detection, but this is
not currently used. Shortly after the Plasma 6.3.1 release, neon ships with two
neon-specific configuration files [1] for SDDM, neither of which specifies the
Wayland backend.

If I add the following file as /etc/sddm.conf.d/10-wayland.conf (courtesy of
Arch Linux wiki), sizes look just right:
> [General]
> DisplayServer=wayland
> GreeterEnvironment=QT_WAYLAND_SHELL_INTEGRATION=layer-shell
>
> [Wayland]
> CompositorCommand=kwin_wayland --drm --no-lockscreen --no-global-shortcuts
> --locale1 --inputmethod maliit-keyboard
Let's consider adding this as default to /usr/lib/sddm/sddm.conf.d.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Install neon
2. Boot laptop
OBSERVED RESULT
Password field uses a very small font.
EXPECTED RESULT
Password field looks similar to other text boxes after session login, which are
rightly sized by default.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Maliit virtual keyboard didn't show for me despite specifying it as command
line parameter. This is also true in the session though, not sure if due to
misconfiguration or Maliit deficiencies or the fact that I have a keyboard and
touchpad available. May be related to
