Bug ID: 401179
Summary: (5.14.3) Allow lesser than 1 scale factor
Product: KScreen
Version: git
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: kcm
Assignee: se...@kde.org
Reporter: pas...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
I'm using KDE Plasma and KDE SC on a macos hardware which comes with so called
"retina" screen.
Using a resolution of 2880x1800 is obviously useless, because too difficult to
read, the list of screen resolution is also not changeable (fixed).
Up to now i workaround the issue by using xrandr to downscale the screen to
1440x900 using a scale factor of 0.5 into an early system script.
Works fine, still i had to workaround that in kcm kscreen again to position the
second external screen correctly.
ie, i have to put the position of the second screen half the width of the first
screen (remember, kscreen only allow scaling from 1 to more) so that both my
first screen downscale and second screen position does not get wrong.
All works so fine, but at a manual maintains cost.
I would like kscreen kcm allow less than 1 scale factor so that i can just
correctly setup my screens without requiring work around / own script.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Use a mac book laptop with a retina screen and an external non retina screen
2. Try to setup your screens so that it fit your needs
OBSERVED RESULT
First retina screen is too small to be usable
EXPECTED RESULT
Be able to downscale my retina screen resolution
