xrandr in Kubuntu 14.04 refuses to scale
by LinuxOnly from LinuxQuestions.org on (#52ZAD)
Running Kubuntu: Plasma Desktop Shell 4.11.11 on KDE 4.14.3 on Ubuntu 14.04.6 LTS on an AMD CPU with built-in graphics, monitor connected through DVI.
When I had to loan away my Samsung TV/monitor with 1920x1200 resolution I connected a smaller, lower resolution ViewSonic monitor. But unplugging the big monitor and plugging in the small one to the running system it automagically scaled the display so I got all the original pixels displayed on the smaller screen. You could see a little fuzziness but very usable.
However, after a reboot it comes up in 1680x1050 resolution and I can't get it to scale using xrandr. I can get the original-size virtual desktop with
Code:xrandr --output DVI-0 --scale 1.1428x1.1428 --fb 1920x1200 --panning 1920x120But I have to pan around because the scaling simply and silently doesn't happen. Of course I didn't think to get the xrandr output while it was scaling.
What else can I try? What other info do you need to help?
Thanks
