Hi,
I have config file in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d that is listing
modelines for all resolutions that xrandr indicates is supported by
the vmware video driver. With that file existing can anyone suggest
why Gnome in Xorg will scale to 4k resolution when the desktop is
scaled, but Plasma in X11 will not scale?
The issue with this was that Gnome and KDE resolutions in the vm are not
the same. Under Gnome, when the vm window is maximised to 3840x2160 (4K)
the maximum available space that Gnome can be scaled to without getting
horizontal or vertical bars is 3840x2075, but under KDE, for the same vm
window size, the maximum resolution KDE can be scaled to is 3840x2069.
The question now is why is there this sizing difference between Gnome
and KDE?
In order to get KDE to scale properly, even to fullscreen when the vm
conf was set to full screen, was to add more modelines into the xorg
config file for the additional resolutions (these were not required with
Gnome).
The other issue I encountered was that Fedora is not setting up valid
video resolutions for the monitor I have. Part of this could be that
Fedora has no idea what the monitor is because it doesn't have specific
support for it, the other part is it is making invalid assumptions about
the monitor capabilities. A lot of the resolutions Fedora is setting up
are 16:10 resolutions, which for my monitor which is 16:9 are not valid.

Steve
