"I've never been able to get dual screen working."
"I haven't been able to get panning/virtual working since 11.4 or 12.1."
"How can I force DPI/make everything on the desktop bigger?"
Several such combinations work here in 12.3 & up. Xorg.conf still works to set them
up if no panning or scaling are required, but since I often do, I often put
http://fm.no-ip.com/Share/setup in /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/setup as 0755 with
whichever line I want used uncommented for xrandr to perform the configuration as X
loads instead of trying to use DE tools after the fact. Whether x is actually needed
I never get around to testing. Same principles apply to setup multihead.
http://fm.no-ip.com/Share/ contains several xorg.conf files that work to configure
multihead with FOSS drivers for Intel, ATI & NVidia gfxchips.
Latest KDE version users since mid-summer of 2013 have had krandr replaced with
kscreen, which is supposed to have made multihead easy to setup without touching
files in /etc/X11/. That's not something I've tried, since I'm happy to setup X
globally in /etc/X11/ and disable kscreen in users' ~/.kde4/share/config/kdedrc with:
[Module-kscreen]
autoload=false
Forcing DPI globally works same as always through xorg.conf, but may be overridden by
the DE, either optionally (e.g. KDE) or not (Gnome3?).
