What do you mean by high DPI monitor? I have a 32" 4K monitor, is that high DPI? It works perfectly in X for me.
I don't see any screen tearing when moving a window fast across the entire screen either, if that was the concern.
I also could set up large enough font sizes in cinnamon and browsers.
- PurpleFoxy 6y agoThe laptop part is important. Your laptop likely has a 1080p screen which needs to be at 100% scale while 4K monitors usually need to be at 200% scale. X does not allow this.
- Liskni_si 6y agoX does allow this, but it needs cooperation from clients, which in practice means that Gtk and Qt need to implement it, and they decided to only implement this for Wayland (which also needs clients to implement this!) because for them, X is dead and not worth supporting. It's not a problem of X per se. It's a deliberate decision to not implement a feature for X.
