Hi, I have been configuring my Asus laptop after I installed opensuse. I found by research that there has been an issue in the past with the Intel video driver that my laptop uses in linux. But that driver was placed in the 5.8 kernel and the problem went away. Those fixes have now been added into the updated 5.3 kernels, which are used in Leap 15.3. The driver is working, but it doesn't seem to be configured correctly from the start, and anything displayed in any window was displayed too small. So the issue to me seemed to be that the driver configuration was incorrect, at least for my laptop display.

I haven't found any information about how to generally configure the driver overall (Intel TigerLake-LP Iris Xe Graphics [TGL GT2]). What I have done is to increase font and icon size, and window zoom to get a readable screen in each browser. Yet what I haven't found is how to increase the size of the font in the URL windows in a browser. They appear very tiny, as the rest of a browser screen used to present before I adjusted the settings. The adjustments I have made in the browser settings haven't affected the url window in the browser. Would anyone have ideas as to how to increase font size in that specific location?

Thanks Mark

Hi Mark,

this is hard to say, since I cannot figure out which UI you are using. For example, if you use KDE, you have a "Fonts" element in the System Settings, where you can tell KDE to use a certain DPI value. Like, for my 32" 4k monitor, I use 138 dpi. So I can set all Fonts to use 9pt as a size and everything looks good. Of course, YMMV :)

Hi Werner, thanks for your reply. Just to clarify missing information about which you remarked, I am using: KDE Plasma Version 5.18.6 KDE Frameworks Version 5.76.0 Qt Version 5.12.7 Kernel Version 5.3.18-59.27-default OS Type 64-bit I was able to locate the DPI selection that you mentioned in your post, and adjusted it to see if it would have an effect on the small characters presented on my screen These are small font in the URL bar of browsers, which I mentioned. Also, I have extremely small icons on my taskbar as well. The setting which you suggested had no effect on these two examples when I adjusted the DPI setting, but also none of the other adjustments which I referenced trying in my previous post have as well. So I'm still looking for ideas from the mailing list to see if the setting can be found which will change the size of these two instances about which I have posted. Thanks, Mark

    Ok Mark, don't know if you know about this one or not. In Firefox go to about:config in the URL bar. Click OK you will take the risk. Type layout.css.devPixelsPerPx for the search, then click Edit. Raise the value a little bit at a time like from 1.1 to 1.5. When you find a value you want you are done......hope this helps.                         mike spartana

I find this an odd thing and it still doesn't really make sense. After one of the previous big Firefox ESR jumps in Leap, all my webpages were suddenly way too magnified and oversized. Reducing the new zoom setting in FF preferences to something like 90% couldn't put it right, there was an imbalance on different sites. Saw the same thing on more than one device running openSUSE. I found the default value for the above devPixelsPerPx setting was at -1.0 which seemed a bit curious. I took away the minus sign and put it at 1.0 and everything was back to normal for me. Perhaps it's because I don't use the Plasma Global Scale setting but rather increase the font dpi setting to 120. Other apps remain as they should be but Firefox somehow doubles down and overdoes it. gumb
