Sadly, if you want mature hiDPI support then we're going to have to take Xorg out of the equation...
The fix Chris did seems like a reasonable workaround. It just removes some of the functionality I was asked to add. However it doesn't qualify as Critical (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Importance) ** Changed in: xorg-server (Ubuntu) Importance: Critical => High ** Summary changed: - Xmir scaling needs a way of adjusting for monitor connections + Xmir reports the phone DPI even on external monitors -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to xorg-server in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1513452 Title: Xmir reports the phone DPI even on external monitors Status in canonical-pocket-desktop: Fix Committed Status in xorg-server package in Ubuntu: Fix Committed Bug description: on latest image, adjust GRID_UNIT_PX to ~8 globally for unity8, all the native unity8 applications look correct when running on a Nexus 4 & attached to external monitor install puritine, launch FF, while attached to external monitor. Scaling is incorrect (large) due to xmir dpi being based on physical phone screen - need a way to tweak/hack to make FF appear usable.
