<div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small">Hi everyone!</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small">It has been a while since I've posted, but I've been reading the list every so often. I've run into a challenge dealing with a high res (3840x2160) smaller laptop screen (16:9 format at 15.6" diagonal). By using LinuxMint 17.2 with the Cinnamon desktop I can access HiDPI scaling features and large font sizes that integrate across the desktop and compatible apps. However, for the few apps that I use that don't pick up that info for fonts and icons, I'd like to figure out how to scale the separate X server windows started by primusrun/bumblebee, either by setting a dpi or some other method. Adding an Option "DPI" "192 x 192" line to the /etc/bumblebee/xorg.conf.nvidia configuration file doesn't change the started applications scale at all. I've just acquired a Eurocom M5 Pro and just started learning about bumblebee, optimus hardware, and so on. All the apps I care about that need acceleration from the nvidia gtx980m card work just fine with primusrun, except some have unacceptable super tiny font and icon sizes, and there is no way to change those in the program. Visual Molecular Dynamics, or VMD, is one example. The head developer has suggested an interim solution of scaling the application by setting the X dpi to something much higher than 96x96. He will be working on HiDPI support, but it may be some time before he can get that built into the application. Another app that I'd like to scale, when using the Intel HD5600 graphics or the nvidia graphics, is Grace, or xmgrace, which is graphing/plotting application. Does anyone know how to scale individual apps at startup without rescaling the whole desktop?</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small">How about setting the virtual terminal font sizes at boot so the fonts in the terminal located on Cntrl-Alt-F1-F6 are not microscopic? Is there a way to do that using a truetype font that can scale larger than the bitmap terminal fonts?<br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small">It is amazing what can be done on this laptop. I had 70K atoms displayed in VdW display style, plus protein backbone ribbons shown, ambient occlusion turned on, anti-aliasing on, all in Schrodinger's Maestro interface with no lag at an application window size of 2560 W x 2943 H, running through primusrun. The details on the structure I used: you would need to download from the online protein data bank, the crystal structure name 1MT5, and then a viewing application like pymol, vmd, rasmol, or some protein viewing app like those installed that you would read the pdb file into so you could see the structure. <br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small"><br></div><div><div class="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><font size="2">Sincerely,<br>Dow<br></font><font size="6"><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:sans-serif;line-height:44.8px;background-color:rgb(249,249,249)">⚛</span></font><font size="2">Dow Hurst, Research Scientist<br> 340 Sullivan Science Bldg.</font><div><font size="2"> Dept. of Chem. and Biochem.<br> University of North Carolina at Greensboro<br> PO Box 26170 Greensboro, NC 27402-6170<br></font><br></div></div></div></div>
