Screen resolution

Open fava75 opened this issue 9 years ago • 1 comments

My screen resolution is 1920x1080 but when I set this theme, at the sddm login screen there seems to be a different resolution. Everything in the ui looks zoomed, except for the background image which is fine. Then after login evreything goes back to normal, I mean the resolution is correct. I've tried changing the sddm dpi as shown is the arch wiki, but nothing happens. I've written here because I didn't know where to write, I hope you can help me because I really like this theme. Thanks

I was facing the same problem. Auto-computation of the DPI is broken on my system (Arch Linux with proprietary nvidia driver) because the wrong screen size is reported by the EDID of my monitor (SyncMaster P2370H). I managed to resolve the issue by setting DPI almost everywhere :p

In /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-nvidia.conf:

Section "Device"
    # ...
    Option "DPI" "96 x 96"
    Option "UseEdidDpi" "FALSE"
    # use a modified EDID with corrected screen size (not sure if useful)
    Option "CustomEDID" "DFP-1:/etc/X11/P2370H.edid"
EndSection

In /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/90-monitor.conf:

Section "Monitor"
    # ...
    ModelName "SyncMaster P2370H"
    DisplaySize 509.76 286.74
EndSection

In /etc/sddm.conf:

[X11]
ServerArguments=-nolisten tcp -dpi 96

And also in KDE by forcing the font DPI at 96.
