Custom display scale using xrandr

Help
1

Hi all,

Is there a way to apply automatically custom per display scale in the plasma5 session on Xorg upon logging in ?

At the moment I issue following command in the terminal after login:

$ xrandr --output eDP-1-1 --scale 1.5x1.5 --output DP-1-1-1 --pos 2880x0 --fb 6720x2160 && systemctl --user restart plasma-plasmashell.service

I answered the question myself :wink:

I achieved to run xrandr on plasma session startup before plasmashell is executed by adding ~/.config/systemd/user/plasma-plasmashell.service.d/override.conf with a content:

[Service]
ExecStartPre=/usr/bin/xrandr --output eDP-1-1 --scale 1.5x1.5 --output DP-1-1-1 --pos 2880x0 --primary --fb 6720x2160 --filter nearest

I also disabled kscreen backend service for the change to be effective.

xrandr -q gives what I wanted to.

So far I don’t see any negative side effects, beside kscreen is not running, obviously :slight_smile:

Maybe someone will find it useful.
