Hello, Tumbleweed user :-)
I ask you because I have no TW at hand :-( (I work with Leap). Multi monitor, intel driver.
in the kscreen menu (something like kde setup, screen), with the grafical way to set up several screens,
can you set a scale below 10%? that is for example 50%? (no need to test the feature, I only need to know if it's available)
I'm using tumbleweed. The System Settings -> Display and Monitor allow for scaling with a minimum of 100% (under X11 it's a single setting for all monitors, under Wayland has a setting for each monitor). So perhaps you are out of luck. I normally disable kscreen vi System Settings -> Startup and Shutdown -> Background and use xrandr to do scaling in: /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/50-xrandr.sh For example, on my system, the contents are: xrandr --output DP-4 --auto --output DP-1 --auto --scale 1.75x1.75 --right-of DP-4 --mode 1920x1200 Xrandr does seem to support scaling below 1.0 (but I've not tried it). I use xrandr because KDE cannot scale each monitor differently. My left monitor is 4K and my right 1920x1200. I force the 1920x1200 monitor to scale 1.75, but restrict it to it's native --mode 1920x1200, which makes it appear acceptably similar to my 4K monitor (with set fonts and icon sizes to something workable). Additionally, I don't want KDE changing anything when I turn off one of the monitors.
this gives smaller content on same full screen.
Presently, on Leap, I have to make tricks to get this result, but I just notice that Fedora (just installed) allows this natively.
thanks for help
