Draft: XRandR: Use RandR 1.5 to change monitors scaling (!120) · Merge requests · Plasma / libkscreen

Ilya Pominov requested to merge ipominov/libkscreen:logical_dpi into master Apr 14, 2023

Use RandR 1.5 to change monitors scaling instead Xft.dpi. This will allow you to set the scale separately for each monitor, and the Qt applications will be able to change the scale without restarting.

These changes are possible after taking MR to Qt: https://codereview.qt-project.org/c/qt/qtbase/+/468398

Also, libxcb should be fixed: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/lib/libxcb/-/merge_requests/47

Currently you need to delete the previously added monitor before it configuring because xserver not following randrproto: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/xserver/-/merge_requests/1113
