It seem to be related to a) the way the card is connected. In my case 2xHDMI b) the fact that the dpi is set to 120
In fact, before, this did not happen with 1xhdmi and 1xdvi with hdmi adapter and 96 dpi. For what is the monitor setup: there are two monitor, the first LG and the second Medion, both with the same size and resolution. I am puzzled for what is the reason for this problem, the only change was in 96 dpi to 120 dpi. In order to reproduce this I will give more details (if useful please tell me what you need else). Currently I am on travel and therefore will provide the info once back, containing: dpi, resolution, card type and driver version as well as graphical settings of Plasma. I think it would be nice to find out. Maybe this is not a KDE but an sddm issue. If you know, when I choose to "change user" or "logout session" from "kicker" or whatever its name is now, is this still governed by kde or is sddm taking over? My understanding is that SDDM is not KDE or Plasma, but I am not educated enough to determine where one stops and the other takes over. So if the popup is not plasma any more please let me know. Once I am back I will also provide a screen shot to better understand how this presents (because it is really disturbing the workflow, otherwise I would not have written). Thank you.
Very often 120 dpi is a setting people with higher age or visual impairment will choose, in order to having an easier working condition. If this should (I do not say it is) be connected to dpi, then it would be useful to solve the issue (or find out which setting / combination to avoid.
If as I suspect you have set 120 DPI via KDE systemsettings5, you have several alternative options. Via systemsettings5, DPI is set via xrdb's Xft.dpi, which I expect sddm is not utilizing (I don't use sddm, only kdm, kdm3 or tdm). Xft.dpi via systemsettings5 is a user-specific method. You can try other methods. Start by including in sddm.conf: [X11] ServerArguments=-nolisten tcp -dpi 120 The two alternatives I variously use are the DisplaySize option in xorg.conf* (either /etc/X11/xorg.conf or /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-monitor.conf), and a startup script in /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/ containing xrandr --dpi or xrandr --fbmm. I would be trying the xorg.conf* approach first, as it seems to take effect during Xorg initialization rather than later. Another option to try is replacing sddm with a different DM. -- "Wisdom is supreme; therefore get wisdom. Whatever else you get, get wisdom." Proverbs 4:7 (New Living Translation) Team OS/2 ** Reg.
