Is that a rhetorical question? The only problem with a high-resolution
display (I'm assuming you are specifically meaning a high-DPI display) that
I can imagine is if a user hasn't configured, or can't configure, the
display to act appropriately. I like high-DPI displays, I much prefer
looking at crisper text than fuzzily-rendered text at 96 or 100 DPI.
I'm on a laptop with a 141 DPI display. I use xrandr to set the DPI, I use
xrdb to set Xft.dpi, and after that most of the programs I use Do The Right
Thing. A couple (e.g., firefox) require me to set the environment variable
GDK_DPI_SCALE to get reasonably-sized UI elements.
I should point out that while I use a number of TDE programs, I don't use
the TDE DE (or window manager). Perhaps if I did I'd know what you are
talking about when you (seem to) indicate that high resolutions are
problematic. Assuming that you are claiming high-DPI displays are a
problem, can you enlighten me as to what problem they give you?
Cheers.
Jim
