Hi, I have a laptop (15 inch) and an external monitor(23 inch) in a dual
head setting, both supporting maximum resolution of 1920 x 1080. Now
the DPI calculated by Xorg from EDID/DisplaySize is found to be 143
x 143. The problem with that DPI is when I shift windows ( like
terminal ) from external one to the laptop one, the fonts look
really tiny. If I calculate DPI myself from size and resolution, the
DPI for one comes to 120 and for another 143. So is there a way to
assign different DPI to each of the physical screens ? I am running
them in a twinview mode (nvidia).
Hi,
I beleive it's not possible to have different DPI's because the X server
is not enough vector-based: it wouldn't know how to zoom/unzoom the
windows when moved from one screen to another.
One possibility however is to "zoom" your laptop screen so that things
in it appear physically as big as in the external monitor (but you loose
the point of having a high DPI and font anti-aliasing fails).
With xrandr 1.3, you can do it with:
xrandr --output LVDS1 --scale 0.65x0.65
Or unzoom your external monitor:
xrandr --output VGA1 --scale 1.2x1.2
However, I don't know if nvidia/twinview supports it.
