[Bug 1209155] New: Terminal width on hi res laptop is 1/3 what it should be
http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1209155 Bug ID: 1209155 Summary: Terminal width on hi res laptop is 1/3 what it should be Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE Tumbleweed Version: Current Hardware: x86-64 OS: Other Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: P5 - None Component: Kernel Assignee: kernel-bugs@opensuse.org Reporter: erbenton@comcast.net QA Contact: qa-bugs@suse.de Found By: --- Blocker: --- During boot and when using Ctrl-Alt Fx to get to a terminal the lines wrap at about one third of the screen width. Plus the text is impossibly tiny, I'm guessing at about 4 point or so. My laptop is hi res ASUS Zenbook at 3840 x 2160. Most things on my hi res laptop (on the desktop) are handled very badly as far as size goes, but this is the most egregious. It seems nothing is really ready for this hi-res although I have not tried gnome or wayland. openSUSE Tumbleweed 20230225 (x86_64) on kernel 6.1.12-1-default -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

There are some bigger fonts for the Linux console which you can try but in general it is not ready for quite a few things. There are graphical terminals like kmscon or mlterm-sdl2 that will probably do better. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

How do i install and setup those two other graphical terminals? Can they be configured to run during the boot sequence? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

It can load arbitrary fonts if you tell it to and is not limited to specially formatted bitmap fonts as the fbcon is. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

I have no real solution for the tty consoles yet, but as for the X11/KDE environment I set export GDK_SCALE=2 export GDK_DPI_SCALE=0.5 export XCURSOR_SIZE=48 export SPOTIFY_SCALE=--force-device-scale-factor=2 export QT_AUTO_SCREEN_SCALE_FACTOR=0 export QT_SCREEN_SCALE_FACTORS=eDP-1=2 export PLASMA_USE_QT_SCALING=1 in a KDE startup script in ~/.config/plasma-workspace/env/, where eDP-1 is the internal display. Except for XCURSOR_SIZE, which obviously doesn't have any effect, everything has a usable size then. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

There are some large cursor themes. eg https://sourceforge.net/projects/x11-cursor-themes/files/
Yes, but you have to set them manually, no chance via script to enlarge a theme already in use, which is "bad", if you want to switch between internal HiDPI and external non HiDPI display. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
