Hello,
My 13 years old monitor is fading out and I will need to get a replacement
soon. Shops are offering here many monitors with resolution greater than
Full HD 1080p,with a little price increase only. I never used nor tested
such a monitor on OpenBSD X server.
I am afraid fonts will be too tiny on such resolutions, so my question is
how good are bigger than FHD resolution monitors supported on OpenBSD X? Do
I need some extra scaling or special setup for font sizes?
It works just fine on a 32"@4K (140dpi) display with different
programs (cwm, firefox, thunderbird, gimp, chromium, vlc,...)
Basically, you need to set:
- Xft.dpi: 120 in ~/.Xresources
- xrandr --dpi 120 in ~/.xsession
As you can see, i use 120dpi here, but perhaps 140dpi (bigger fonts)
suits you better...depends on personal preference.
You can verify your current dpi setting with:
$ xdpyinfo | grep resolution
-Mark
Thanks.
