Hello. I've recently bought a new 12.5" laptop with FullHD display, which gives a density about 176dpi. I'm also using an external 19" monitor with 1440x900 resolution (connected to a docking station), which has density almost equal to 90dpi. I have my KDE environment configured for the internal panel (dpi, font sizes and so on). It looks nice and allows for comfortable work.
The problem is, that when I attach the external screen, everything rendered on it gets extremally big. It is easy to explain - pixels are almost 2 times bigger (physically). But it makes things look... bad. And the screen surface is "wasted" in a way. I tried to - in a way - emulate higher density with xrandr: $ xrandr --fb 4800x1800 --output DP1-3 --scale-from 2880x1800 --output eDP1 -- pos 2880x0 And it - in a way - does the job. Unfortunately, although sizes get adjusted, scaling does not always make things look acceptable, especially when text is considered. Do you have any ways of dealing wiht a problem of concurrently connected monitors with different physical pixel densities? What would you propose? Apart from buying another monitor, for it probably would need to be of UltraHD density ;-) -- Łukasz Maśko _o) Lukasz.Masko(at)ipipan.waw.pl /\\ Registered Linux User #61028 _\_V Ubuntu: staroafrykańskie słowo oznaczające "Nie umiem zainstalować Debiana" _______________________________________________ [email protected]: X.Org support Archives: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg Info: http://lists.x.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg Your subscription address: %(user_address)s
