Virtual screen size suddenly too big!

Post by krumm »

I'm running an X1 Carbon in HiDPI mode, been pretty decent. The afternoon I opened the lid, and the machine resumed from suspend. Except now the virtual screen size seems to be much larger, causing the desktop to scroll as the cursor is moved. I've rebooted, reset, tinkered with xrandr, and used up some of my best curse words, all to no avail...

Does anyone know HOW to fix the issue of desktop scaling? My screen is 2560x1440.

Did you accidentally hit <alt><scroll wheel>. This is a screen enlargement feature. Setting are in the accessibility section in settings.

Yes, I thought I had posted earlier. I accidentally had zoomed the screen in per the Accessibility settings. Doh... :oops:
