Wow, that's seriously disappointing.

As of recently, I have a mixed 1920x1200 and 4K setup on my home desktop, and 1920x1200 + 2560x1440 setup on my work laptop. I was very interested in what I'd heard about Wayland supporting per-monitor scaling and hoping to move over whenever KDE's Wayland support stabilised.

Well, I guess I'll still be doing that on my work laptop with its Intel graphics... here's hoping AMD does better for my next desktop GPU upgrade.



You'd be surprised by how many apps support Wayland natively. Gtk+ and QT support it transparently for app developers, and I assume other frameworks do as well.

And Wayland is a huge improvement over X. Whenever I go back to X, it really suffers from tearing on portrait sub-1080p DIV-D monitor.


Does xrandr's --scale option not do what you want?
