I'm on an iMac, so I want to make use of my Retina (hj-dpi) screen, while also using external screens that are not hi-dpi.
I can confirm no good X11 support for separate dpis per screen. I was able to mess around with xrandr, but I got ghosting on my mouse cursor that I could not resolve. Possibly I could have hand-configured an X config for my particular screens, but seems like a lot of work and I don't want to hard-code my screens. The iMac screen doesn't work with all the resolutions selectable. In fact, my realistic choices were basically either: 1) Full resolution with 200% scaling, and no usable second screen 2) 1/2 resolution with 100% scaling and usable second screen I settled for '2'. However, I read this issue and did see Wayland supported it. So I: 1) Logged in with Wayland 2) Ran gsettings set org.gnome.mutter experimental-features "['scale-monitor-framebuffer']" 3) Logged out (necessary) 4) Changed my dpis per screen in Display settings It works reasonably well. Gnome apps are crisp on my Retina screens, other apps are blurry due to presumable up-scaling of low-dpi rendering to go onto the larger canvas. Unfortunately of course Ubuntu has made Wayland non-default. I hope it can become default again and all the issues with it (network protocol, native app support) can be resolved, as I do think X11 is dated at this point. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1528319 Title: Scaling factors for HiDPI on multiple monitors To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gnome-control-center/+bug/1528319/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
