Hi folks,
I’m using a 4 monitor X setup where only one of the displays is a 4K monitor under 18.04. While MATE Tweak tool allows me to choose “Auto detect”, “Regular”, or “HiDPI”, none of these options seems entirely appropriate for this configuration.
If I choose autodetect or HiDPI, the output on the 4K monitor looks fantastic, the windows and fonts on the non-HiDPI monitors are scaled too large (about 2X as big as if I chose “regular”). If I choose regular, of course, windows anfd fonts in the non-4K displays look great, the way they always did, but of course, windows and fonts on the 4K display are microscopic.
I’m guessing that this setup (multiple monitors, where not all are HiDPI) isn’t currently anticipated by the tweak setting, and I’ll have to punt to something like xrandr scaling to get things “just so”. This post is just a request for confirmation about that. If it’s truly a bug I’ll be happy to play along in an issue tracker about it, though.
