OK, I'll admit that I hadn't updated GNOME from Matthew's repository; so many of the problems described there seem to be absent on my machine, so I sort of thought it wasn't needed. Anyway, I didn't have that HiDPI section at all. So I updated. Surprisingly little joy has resulted from that move. The value displayed in gnome-tweak-tool was 1. It wouldn't let me set it below that. The following sequence is roughly from memory... - Set to 2. Nothing really appears to change. - Set back to 1. Windows like gnome-terminal and the tweak tool miniaturize. Emacs behaves rationally, instead. - Set back to 2. Everything gets HUGE. I am no longer able to reach the bottom of the tweak tool window. I'm sure there's a standard way of moving it up, but it's not in my brain...I'm used to setting alt-mouse-1 to do that, but that's one of the things you can't do anymore. So I end up switching to a VC and rebooting. - The login screen works fine. Once logged in, though, the display is gray except for a box in the upper left, half the screen's width and maybe 2/3 of its height. That shows my background and the top panel as far as it can be seen. Something is clearly hosed in my configuration, but I don't know what it is. Is there a dconf incantation to set the scaling factor outside of the tweak tool?
