My eyes are no more what they were, however I've always likes the idea to run Linux on a tiny thing (got some Sharp Zaurus) and I've purchased a (second hand) GPD Pocket (I thing I got the idea from a post on this list).
OK, so I've installed my favourite MX-Linux (and TDE) on it. However, the 1200x1920 screen has very tiny pixels and the setup is quite uneasy (with magnifying glass sometime), so before I poke everywhere to try, maybe someone here âlready went through sometiing like that and could suggest settings that work.
I notices that TCC lists the sceen as "Philips PHL 273V7" but Internet search suggests it's a 27" monitor....
I would:
Scaling? Can we do that in TDE? And this machine won't stand KDE (neither would I). xfce did a little better, not much.
Change the screen size? I'd like to try something like 600x960 but nothing such is offered by TCC
That is the bastes option, you might use "tderandrtray" or plain xrandr dor this.
Other option: set the DPI value to e.g. 200 in ~/.Xresources: Xft.dpi:200 ... or in .xsession: echo "Xft.dpi: 200"|xrdb -merge
For GTK apps use lxappereance to set that value.
Then there are some environment variables that might come in handy: QT_FONT_DPI=150 QT_SCALE_FACTOR=1.5
There were used to be environemt varables for managing the GTK/GDK scaling, but they stopped working with GTK3.
