scale screen with xrandr

[josvanr]

hi

in ubuntu I use

xrandr --output LVDS1 --mode 1280x800 --scale 1.5x1.5

to increase the resolution of my small laptop screen. It gives me a
(interpolated/scaled) resolution of 1920x1200 wich is nice for large windows.
Although fonts appear a bit more fuzzy, it is perfectly all right.

In kde unfortunately, the command messes up the screen, at least
the last time I tried (6 months a go or so). Has anyone used this trick
for working on small laptop screens? Does it work now? It should be
built into the kde gui. I never use my laptop without it..

Re: scale screen with xrandr

I am bumping this because I have the same issue. Screen gets scaled but takes up smaller part of screen so it is not using full LVDS.
