Description Alexander Mezin 2018-04-02 01:43:27 UTC
I heard that at least latest versions of Gnome should auto-detect high DPI screens and automatically scale correctly.

It never worked for me. Currently running Gnome 3.28.0 on Arch, Wayland session. I had to manually configure scaling. GDM screen isn't scaled too (and I can't find a way to configure scaling on it).

My setup:
- LG 27UD69P (3840x2160, 27 inch)
- Dell P2415Q (3840x2160, 23.8 inch)
- Radeon RX 580
- Arch Linux - most probably latest stable releases of everything, without any custom patches
