[Bug 1513452] Re: Xmir scaling needs a way of adjusting for monitor connections

 

This commit¹ in xmir git makes XMir behave like Xorg - it respects the
-dpi command-line parameter, defaulting to 96DPI.

As it makes XMir behave like desktop Xorg we'll need the same
compiz/toolkit/application level tweaks we currently use on the desktop
to enable HiDPI mode if we want XMir displaying on the phone (or an
external 4K display).

Title:
  Xmir scaling needs a way of adjusting for monitor connections

Status in canonical-pocket-desktop:
  Fix Committed
Status in xorg-server package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  on latest image, adjust GRID_UNIT_PX to ~8 globally for unity8, all
  the native unity8 applications look correct when running on a Nexus 4
  & attached to external monitor

  install puritine, launch FF, while attached to external monitor.
  Scaling is incorrect (large) due to xmir dpi being based on physical
  phone screen - need a way to tweak/hack to make FF appear usable.
