I installed Kubuntu 15 04 on my Macbook Pro Retina 15". I finally got everything to scale properly when by running "sudo systemctl set-default multi-user [dot] target", so that it boots to text-only mode. Then I modified startx script to pass the "-dpi 220" parameter to X. Now when I run startx from the text-console, everything scales correctly and looks great.
I googled for quite some time and apparently there's no way to pass any params to X with SDDM? I don't really need sddm, but now I'm thinking if startx does all the same stuff as when sddm launches KDE?
I've noticed that after rebooting when I alt-tab for the first time there's a delay, same with the KDE menu etc. I'm wondering if this is a side-effect of not using sddm, does sddm do some preloading or something?
Some possible solutions I've found by googling, but can't test right now:
- set DisplaySize in xorg conf (should give correct DPI to X)
- xrandr -dpi in usr share sddm scripts Xsetup
EDIT: had to remove some dots etc, apparently forum thinks they're links
