    [Monitors] mutiple monitors, different resolutions, xrandr

    Hi,

    Operating System: Kubuntu 20.04
    KDE Plasma Version: 5.18.4
    KDE Frameworks Version: 5.68.0
    Qt Version: 5.12.8
    Kernel Version: 5.4.0-29-generic
    OS Type: 64-bit
    Processors: 8 × Intel® Core™ i7-6700K CPU @ 4.00GHz
    Memory: 31,3 GiB of RAM

    I have an 1080p and a 4k monitor. Sadly there is no automatic scaling so I tried to use xrandr to fix the problem. I set global scaling to 200% and used
    Code:
    [FONT=monospace]xrandr --output HDMI-0 --scale 2x2 --mode 1920x1080 --fb 7680x2160 --pos 0x0 && xrandr --output DP-0 --scale 1x1 --pos 3840x0[/FONT]
    as far as i understand this basically makes the 1920p monitor render as a 4k screen which then the monitor downscales again.

    I wouldn't call this a solution and more like a workaround. Also the quality suffer by doing this as the monitor has to downscale.

    Another problem i ran into is plasma not adjusting the desktop to the new size. So a restart of plasma is needed too.

    What is the intended solution for this? I ran into multiple older forum posts which all lead to no results. I mean windows can do it easily...
Working...
