Hello all, is the "For only this specific display arrangement" in the KDE Plasma spin of F32 actually functional? I have 15" HiDPI laptop that I dock with a Thunderbolt dock to a non-HiDPI external display. Since this machine has an nVidia card (not my first choice just what I ended up with) I'm stuck on an X11 session so mixed DPI isn't going to really work. I scale my internal display at 175% and the external at 100%.
I thought the solution would be to disable the internal display and just have the external on while docked. I've tried configuring the internal display to 175% and checking the "For only this specific display arrangement" radio button while un-docked and configuring the external display connected and internal disabled with that box checked but it never seems to actually work. As soon as I disconnect from the docking station the internal display re-enables as it should be it's still scaled at 100%. Even restarting doesn't fix it, I have to change it again in the display setting and reboot. Happens the other direction too, if I reconnect to the dock the internal display disables and the external display is still scaled at 175% until I rescale and reboot.
GNOME will remember these settings even on X11 but GNOME doesn't do fractional scaling so I lose a good bit of real estate on the internal display at 2x. My next option seems like xrandr. Anyone else get this option to work in the Plasma spin?
Thanks!
