xu-irc67whey total newbie here. first time using linux. i use xubuntu as os for one of my oldest notebook which has Intel GMA X3100 as gpu. But I only get 640*480 screen resolution and can't change it. Is there any way to have higher resolution?14:44

hygyHi.21:11
hygyI want to use xubuntu 20.04 with a 4k primary display and with a HD secondary display. How can I make it work?21:12
hygyIt was hard to make it work on the primary 4k display on alone too.21:12
gnrphygy: What were the problems, or what is it that does not work?21:40
hygygnrp: first I want to use it on a simple 4k display. I installed xubuntu and all the things was really small.21:50
hygylogin screen is small still now21:50
hygythen I try to set the settings, apperance, settings, window size 2x -> the windows gets bigger, but the icons oters are really small, so I selected the hdpi-default theme, then the window titles get bigger21:52
hygybut the panel, icons, etc are really small21:52
hygyand the start menu too21:53
hygyso I sarted to tweak all the font sizees and many settings21:53
hygy(now it is about to usable, but the icons on the buttons are so small21:54
hygyso finally I set back to windows size to 1x21:54
hygyand set the dpi to the correct calculated size of the monitor21:55
hygyim using it like that now21:55
hygyThen I try to connect a lowdpi (HD) monitor to this computer, but all thing is really big on the lowdpi screen it is unusable. :(21:55
gnrpaah, yeah, getting dpi right is a bit annoying in the beginning21:55
hygyI think after a fresh install it needs to detect that is a 4k display, and set the correct things.21:56
hygygnrp: but I cannot set different dpi for the 4k display and the HD display21:56
gnrpand this doesn't make sense21:57
gnrpyou should only set the dpi and not the other stuff21:57
gnrpbecause when you change the font or symbol size, of course everything will change. If you only change the dpi, then things will be fine21:57
hygybut if I only set the dpi the fonts and any other tings keep really small21:57
hygyfirst I just set the dpi, but it does not work....21:57
hygymany things are really small21:57
gnrplike what?21:58
gnrpremembre that e.g. browsers often do their own thing21:58
hygyicons, panel menus, button texts21:58
hygyand the bigger problem now that I cannot use an external lodpi monitor21:59
gnrphm, looking at it, I get the problem. tbh, I don't know how to solve that21:59
hygysomebody said to me that I need to install wayland and there I can set different dpi-s for the different monitors21:59
hygydont know where the problem is, maybe xfce, or maybe x11 or dont know where, but it is far from user friendly now22:00
gnrpyeah. High-dpi displays, and especially changes from that, are still a hassle with Linux22:01
gnrpif you stay within one of the big desktop environments and its programs (KDE or Gnome), you might be more happy, but then you are very limited with the applications22:01
hygyi dont like kde, and gnome is hmm :)  when they moved to unity style i really hate this22:03
hygythe old times I used gnome2 and it was really good22:03
hygythen somebody get crazy and figured out unity....22:04
hygyso I switched to xfce, and I like it...22:04
hygybut now it is really disappointing to use linux with 4k display22:04
hygyand I do not like windows22:05
hygyso I dont know how can I deal with this :(  I'm really dissapointed22:05
gnrpunity was a Ubuntu thing, though22:06
gnrpI use a 4k display as well, but no external displays ;)22:06
gnrpor do you mean gnome shell?22:06
gnrpthere are some rough edges with Linux on the desktop after all htese years. But they are tiny compared to old times :D22:07
hygysorry i lost the connection22:21
hygywhere can I get help how to use xubuntu with mixed hdpi lodpi setting?22:26
