Really, I thought it is maths :) cause how many dots in which density I can display on 15" ... of course it is much smaller then the same displayed on 27". To read the same text on the 15" I must put glasses or lower resolution. On the 13" I really need glasses :) In math is truth :)
I will consider what Jim wrote,
Thanks. :-)
as my own problem is similar. I haven't stated it explicitly before, because I assumed others (being sensible) would do as I do.
The reason I want a kind of one-size-fits-all solution is that I like to copy my working system and transfer it to other machines.
Me too. And part of what has made that tricky to do in a "seamless" way is the X server's treachery.
I do very little in the way of changing my settings when I move from laptop > desktop > laptop > the next miracle device. About the only obvious difference is that I have to hit Ctrl-+ two or three times when I view webpages; otherwise, my system is pretty much identical on my laptop as it was only seven or eight earlier machines, each of them quite different in specs.
And that is a good accomplishment (it would be better if you didn't have to hit Ctrl-+, but it is still pretty good).
I have solved this problem by correcting the lie that the X server tells us. Might I ask how you have made your settings work across a wide variety of systems?
Cheers. Jim
