Doesn't work for me on my current machine. If I do anything that bothers the X server (plug in or remove a display, change resolution, sneeze) I end up with a frozen system (using nouveau) or a black screen (intel). So right now I'm depending on the Penguineers either fix the GPU-related drivers further upstream or get a hack in Qubes.

The only workaround I've found when working with such apps/VMs is to use `xrandr` and set a lower resolution. It couldn't be more heavy-handed than that but it at least allows me to get some work done. It gets somewhat usable when assigning keyboard shortcuts to the xrandr commands, allowing to quickly switch between resolutions. # enlarge xrandr --output eDP1 --mode 1280x720 # back to default res xrandr --output eDP1 --auto [1] https://groups.google.com/d/msg/qubes-users/YOYJbnhNEhE/dVA37TMFCAAJ -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-devel" group.

[qubes-devel] Modification of HVM virtual graphics adapters
Hi! Would it be possible to modify their environment to run them with smaller virtual screen size and scale their output on the way to their X window? A lot of things that need to run in a HVM is not necessarily able to scale very well (or not at all) in HiDPI environments (e. g. a lot of Windows 7 applications are behaving extremely erratic if you try scaling them within their environment). I tried using Xpra as intermediate for scaling windows but DISPLAY=x.y qvm-start seems not to be a healthy alternative either... Any recommendations to getting things enlarged without having to use opera glasses while working?
