F26: SSDM bigger font with 4K display
Raw
F26_SDDM_bigger_font_4k_display.txt
My Dell XP2 (9560) has a 4K display. I am using the display manager (dm) that came with KDE/Plasma which is SDDM.
The problem I had was the login screen had very small text and the resolution was full 4K (small everything).
I found the solution in the following ArchWiki:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/SDDM#DPI_settings
All I did was edit /etc/sddm.conf and uncomment the [X11] setting and add the -dpi option and value:
ServerArguments=-nolisten tcp -dpi 200
A simple logout from whatever desktop revealed the much easier to read login screen.
