Hi Klaus
Everything is extremely small, but I've found in the System Settings a
possibility for scaling, which I did. So now i scale the display two
times and can read the text. So all native KDE applications seems to run
with this scaling. But the GTK application doesn't - making them unusable.
Have a look at https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/HiDPI, in particular
$ gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface scaling-factor 2
I was wondering if it was possible to set-up the graphics card to work
with a HD like setting (or half the current possible number of pixels)
and still use the full display. If I set-up the display to HD size in
the System Settings it only uses half the Display.
You can try creating a custom modeline with the cvt tool, i.e. for 1920x1080
$ cvt 1920 1080
which will give you something like
# 1920x1080 59.96 Hz (CVT 2.07M9) hsync: 67.16 kHz; pclk: 173.00 MHz
Modeline "1920x1080_60.00" 173.00 1920 2048 2248 2576 1080 1083 1088
1120 -hsync +vsync
Then add this to a file like /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/40-monitor.conf
(create if necessary), according to the following format
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "eDP-1"
Modeline "1920x1080_60.00" 172.80 1920 2040 2248 2576 1080 1081
1084 1118 -hsync +vsync
Option "PreferredMode" "1920x1080_60.00"
EndSection
Use xrandr -q to find out the display identifier (i.e. eDP-1 in the
example). PreferredMode is optional, to tell the xserver to default to
the specified mode.
Then reboot or login/logout and look if this mode works better.
Do you know if that would be possible to change the basic settings of
the graphics card? If so, where should I look for configuration options?
This isn't really a graphics-card thing, rather a that the toolkit (Qt,
Gtk) needs to be HiDPI aware and configured accordingly
Hope this helps
Sandro
