Re: Debian Stretch, KDE & DPI settings
There is a 'font' dpi setting in the systemsettings, but on my big crt I use this
in ~/.config/autostart-scripts/whatever.sh
the xdpyinfo command will tell you more about your setup.
Code: Select all
xrandr --dpi 100
the xdpyinfo command will tell you more about your setup.

Nothing happens when I give that command. :/bw123 wrote:There is a 'font' dpi setting in the systemsettings, but on my big crt I use thisin ~/.config/autostart-scripts/whatever.shCode: Select all

Re: Debian Stretch, KDE & DPI settings
Are you sure" Works fine here, although 100 is a very slight change from the default. You should read man pages before using commands from the internet.j5h wrote: Nothing happens when I give that command. :/
Code: Select all
$ xdpyinfo | grep reso
resolution: 96x96 dots per inch
$ xrandr --dpi 100
$ xdpyinfo | grep reso
resolution: 100x100 dots per inch
$ xrandr --dpi 96

There are a lot of internet posts about it, one of the better ones is here.j5h wrote:I can change dpi value, but it wont change anything..Code: Select all

Setting dpi probably isn't what you want. What you want is to find good settings for font, icon, tray, and scale and that will take a little work and experimenting to find what you like.

Re: Debian Stretch, KDE & DPI settings
Has anyone used Wayland with Debian? This is totally new stuff for me, so I don't how to proceed. Does Wayland even use Xorg drivers or are drivers handled other way?
Re: Debian Stretch, KDE & DPI settings
Seems that Wayland does not work with Debian or I just do not know how to configure it. It's a shame that only Gnome can handle 4k screens.

Re: Debian Stretch, KDE & DPI settings
I've been using KDE Plasma 5 with a 4K monitor for over a year. It looks excellent. I set System Settings > Fonts - Force fonts DPI to 160 and resized the panel but don't remember exactly what else. The Arch wiki page bw123 posted is very helpful.j5h wrote:Seems that Wayland does not work with Debian or I just do not know how to configure it. It's a shame that only Gnome can handle 4k screens.
I did not use Wayland. It's still a bit too experimental.
4K support is also dependent on the capabilities of your video card and its driver.
