HiDPI: Gnome scale - Scaling only one single display

Hello everybody,

I've just got a new laptop with HiDPI and do now have some issues regarding the scale of the display. My setting right now:

Three displays:

1. HP 24": 1920x1200
2. HP 24": 1920x1200
3. Laptop: 3840x2160

I would like to use gnomes scale-mechanism but unfortunaltey if I change the scale for the laptop-display it changes the scale for every display including the two HP 24". Is there a way to change the scale only for one display?

Regards

On xorg? No. On Wayland theoretically yes, though I don't know what you'd have to do here for GNOME

On xorg the best you can do is decide on some middleground where it doesn't look "too wrong, but not quite right" on all of them. See the following earlier thread that contains some discussions in that regard:  https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=238600
