laptop 8540w resolution screen with nvidia driver

[luca120]

Hello to all i'm new on freebsd system, I have already searched but without success, as in object I have a HP8540W with nvidia quadro FX880M and Nvidia-340 driver installed.


I don't know how I can decrease the resolution of my screen, because honeslty the resolution seems working fine but dimensions of all windows and charatters are very big [in attached an exmaple of my configuration and resolution I have in full desktop]

KDE has a settings app to set the display resolution.

What's reported? (I don't doubt that it's fine, but I'm curious.)

but dimensions of all windows and charatters are very big …

With Display Configuration you can scale up, which will worsen things (see below), but not down below 100%.



It might be necessary to alter DPI, maybe with help from an NVIDIA-provided application.

Nvidia-340

pkg info --list x11/nvidia-driver-340 | grep bin/

I had similar issues with NVIDA when using different Linux distros.
Could be an DPI issue.
Maybe you can use nvidia-settings with x11/nvidia-driver-340?
