Hi Xpra Users, I recently got a company laptop (macbook pro with retina screen). It seems that Apple did a nifty trick with this laptop and stuffed the 15'' screen with 2880x1800 pixels however the actual resolution is scaled to much lower (so that you can actually use the thing). I think Xpra gets confused by this scaling. I noted that the screen resolution sent to xpra during handshake is whatever scaled resolution is (1680x1050). The images that come back from xpra server look like they have been "zoomed in". Text and images look heavily anti-aliased. I downloaded the src code of client.py and manually set the resolution to 2880x1800, I don't think that made much of a difference. I also turned off font smoothing. I am using the following params:
xpra --no-clipboard --no-pulseaudio --no-notifications --no-bell --encoding=x264 attach ssh:<whatever> I am attaching a screen shot to show you what I mean. It is quite usable but not nearly as sharp as what I see when using it with a different monitor with no scaling (also attached). I dont think this is caused by the X server on client side. Starting up native apps like Terminal look sharp. Note that the attached images are not the same size (the artifact of the aforementioned scaling). Retina screenshots produce a larger pixel count. Any ideas? - Mehmet _______________________________________________ shifter-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.devloop.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/shifter-users
