Making external display DPI settings permanent
System: Linux Mint 19.1 Cinnamon.
Hardware: Laptop screen: 3840x2160 + HDMI screen 1920x1080.
I have enabled Double DPI in General settings. It works fine for the laptop display, but now I connected an external FullHD display, the things on it are twice as large.
I currently use the following command to correct the scaling:
xrandr --output HDMI-0 --scale 2x2
My intention is to make this permanent and persistent on reboots etcetera.
How and in what file can I do this?
I have tried to look for an xorg.conf, but this is what I only get:
$ locate -i xorg.conf
/usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d
/usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-amdgpu.conf
/usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-nvidia.conf
/usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-quirks.conf
/usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-radeon.conf
/usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/11-nvidia-prime.conf
/usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/40-libinput.conf
/usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/70-wacom.conf
/usr/share/doc/xserver-xorg-video-intel/xorg.conf
/usr/share/man/man5/xorg.conf.5.gz
/usr/share/man/man5/xorg.conf.d.5.gz
Note, that I use Nvidia, so these 2 might be relevant:
$ cat /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-nvidia.conf
Section "OutputClass"
Identifier "nvidia"
MatchDriver "nvidia-drm"
Driver "nvidia"
Option "AllowEmptyInitialConfiguration"
ModulePath "/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/nvidia/xorg"
EndSection
and this one:
$ cat /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/11-nvidia-prime.conf
# DO NOT EDIT. AUTOMATICALLY GENERATED BY gpu-manager
Section "OutputClass"
Identifier "Nvidia Prime"
MatchDriver "nvidia-drm"
