Bug ID: 389191
Summary: xwayland auto-upscaling causes pixelation and should
be optional
Product: kwin
Version: 5.11.95
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: wayland-generic
Assignee: kwin-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: l-softw...@lausen.nl
Target Milestone: ---
With a plasma wayland session and a multi-monitor (high and normal DPI) setup /
scaling enabled, legacy xwayland applications are automatically scaled up,
causing them to look bad on the HIDPI screen. This is especially grave if an
application used predominantly during the day relies on xwayland.
These legacy applications often have their own settings to adapt to HIDPI
screens. I argue in that case it is better to tune the xwayland applications by
hand instead of relying on autoscaling, as only in this way a sharp output can
be achieved.
While autoscaling is a great feature for many workflows that only seldomly use
xwayland applications (thanks for developing it!), it should be optional and it
should be possible to disable it.
Is there some run- or compile-time option to disable the xwayland autoscaling?
