sddm.conf


Also.. I just saw there are system-settings for sddm.

Start system-settings from the MX menu, then type in sddm
click on Login Screen, and at the bottom there is a button that says "Apply Plasma Settings"
If you click that button shows a number of things that are about to be changed, ONE of which IS DPI to match your desktop!!

Please try that.
On It :exclamation:

Very odd.. both my machines the sddm.conf files have this:

Code: Select all

[Autologin]
Relogin=false
Session=plasma.desktop
User=

[General]
HaltCommand=
RebootCommand=
DisplayServer=x11
EnableHiDPI=true

[Theme]
Current=monochrome

[Users]
MaximumUid=60000
MinimumUid=1000

and I added the
DisplayServer=x11
EnableHiDPI=true
on this VM.
