2 screens with different scaling

Support Graphics & Display

Hello, I have connected an external monitor to my laptop, but my laptop has a resolution of 2160x1440 and my external monitor has a resolution of 1366x768. Therefore I would like to set a different scaling for the external monitor. Is there a way out there, haven’t found much.

@GeistFan Please no double posts: 2 Bildschirme mit verschiedenen Skallierungen

That only shows the option with global scalling

Is this better for your case ?

Hello,
I have the same problem i used the solution of the link for my setup :
-1920x1080 as primary and second screen 2560x1440
It gives me :
xrandr --fbmm 5440x3060 --output DisplayPort-1 --pos 2880x0 --mode 2560x1440 --scale 1x1 --output DisplayPort-0 --pos 0x0 --mode 1920x1080 --scale 1.5x1.5 --primary

Then i use :
kquitapp5 plasmashell || killall plasmashell && kstart5 plasmashell

But now everything is little size on both screens.
