It does work though. X can't be configured with 2 different DPIs at all.

- cr0sh 8y agoAre you sure? http://wok.oblomov.eu/tecnologia/mixed-dpi-x11/ http://wok.oblomov.eu/tecnologia/mixed-dpi-x11/ I can't say I've played around with it, but the above seems to indicate that such support is available - but that you might have issues with apps not supporting it (or reporting their DPI properly). There also might be problems with other layers above raw X (?) - but it seems like X itself does support it in some manner? I once had X supporting two mice on dual monitors (this was a while back - I had a couple of CRT monitors at the time); seeing that made me think X could do almost anything I asked of it (depending on how I "asked").
- joombaga 8y agoNope! Looks like I was wrong. I was never able to get it working on Gnome without the upscale/downscale workaround suggested in your link (resulting in terribly degraded image quality), but perhaps that is the fault of Gnome/GTK. It wouldn't have occurred to me that the fault could lie in any other layer than that which controls the resolution/DPI, but I'm certainly no expert on the Linux graphical stack.
