(In reply to Simon Herrmann from comment #19)
I totally agree that the size got missunderstood by gnome or whatever piece of software made that assumption about size. I don't know how to change that, nor did I choose this size. Clearly, as correctly assumed by you, the external monitor should be larger than the internal display, rather than smaller as defined by default. By the way, am I the only one having this problem? Does no one else use an external, second monitor?
Are you mixing up size and resolution? I was talking about resolution, not size. I found it strange, that the internal display with 4k has a higher resolution than the external monitor with 1080p. But hey, things have changed with Smartphones with 1080p displays or even higher resolutions meanwhile ...
The external display is old, the notebook quite new, hence the difference in pixel density. Well if you want to have it properly separated, this would result in two different bug cases. One for the external monitor not working, and the other for (OpenSUSE) not understanding that the external monitor is physically larger than the internal display despite having less pixels. Other OSes know this from somewhere. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
