I'm surprised that nobody has talked about using the Xorg -dpi flag. I am a MacBook Retina user (but exclusively run Linux -- a long story) and i actually find the results reasonable. I had to go to a bit of effort, but finally i managed a reasonable result by changing the way the X server is started (adding the -dpi 227 flag) and modifying Firefox's devPerPx option. The rest sort of "automagically" worked IIRC. I should however add that my setup is minimalistic -- Xmonad and very few non-terminal apps.
- fit2rule 12y agoWould be very interesting to see the results - I think knowing the DPI and scaling accordingly is probably the better way to go about it .. it'll reveal the broken apps quicker, anyway.
