[KScreen] [Bug 422552] Auto-detect appropriate scale factor for the easy cases (e.g. 4k screen) on X11
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=422552 --- Comment #18 from Bruno Friedmann --- I'm a bit sad to see this kind of conclusion, especially waiting on that since 2015. At no Wayland is a no go: because after waiting the same amount time wayland and nvidia are just not usable. And intel with wayland look like its works, if you accept to loose main functionality, like being able to restore your last session. 2023 start with mitigated feeling. At least thanks to have tried, I would not care about first time, first time is a one shot, opening your session day by day and get it configured exactly like yesterday would have been magic. Regards and again thanks a lot for the whole effort made on this. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=422552 Nate Graham changed: What|Removed |Added Resolution|--- |INTENTIONAL Status|ASSIGNED|RESOLVED --- Comment #17 from Nate Graham --- This turns out to be much harder on X11 than I thought. The thing that sets the scale factor (using environment variables) runs after the thing that propagates environment variables to apps and Plasma. So on first boot, the scale will still be wrong, but fix itself on subsequent boots. Making it right on the first boot would require fundamentally re-architecting the whole system to move the scale factor generation logic into a new thing that runs earlier, which is hard because it has dependencies on code in the place where it already lives. This all works properly on Wayland, and we have better auto-scaling there for Plasma 5.27. I think fixing this on X11 is not worth the effort at this point in time, given the huge re-architecting required, the risk of breakage it would entail, and how usable the Wayland session is now. Anyone who feels up to fixing this properly on X11 is welcome to try, of course. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=422552 --- Comment #15 from Nate Graham --- The issue on X11 is that scale is global, not per-monitor. So auto-configuring a scale factor is fine if you have a single-monitor setup, but the moment you plug in a second monitor, and that monitor would benefit from a different scale factor, it doesn't work at all. Think about the case of a 4K internal laptop screen for which KScreen choosers 200 or 250% scale. With a 1080p 24" screen attached, everything would be unusably huge. Of course, that's an issue when you manually choose a scale factor anyway, so it's not really a regression if we do it automatically, because this use case is explicitly unsupported on X11 anyway (you should use the Wayland session for proper mixed-DPI multimonitor setups). -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

Of course it makes elements of UI a bit bigger than I used to, but as a starting point that's okay, way better than no scaling at all. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
