Maybe it's a combination of smaller fonts plus my eyes being used to the bigger one earlier and/or something about my sight - dunno.It's all a bit strange to be honest. Sure you've moved from a lower res. screen to a higher res one, but not astronomically so. I'm surprised you're having so many problems.
I like my tiling manager too much to use kde/gnomeJust for interest, have you tried a different window manager? Try a full desktop environment like gnome or kde? If you install sddm as well you can choose which window mgr to use from the login screen.
Its there in the OP question/thread starter itself - take a look at the margins of the search - just seems like a lot of unutilised space with this smaller font - kinda becomes worse with reading something for extended periods of time - puts a strain.Also, can you take a screenshot and post here so we can see what you're talking about?
What are the physical sizes of the old and new panels?I guess you moved the disk from the old laptop to the new one, so all the fonts are what you had setup for the old screen. It still seems a bit strange.
32:9, also known as "super" ultra-wide. They're basically two 16:9 screens next to each other.It seems to be a strange aspect ratio... extremely wide and not very high...

Yes - that's correct - it was a full screenshot from within the browser.Is what you've shown a screenshot of the browser window rather than the full screen?
Whoa - that's a cool looking machine - haven't got it, wish I could! Is it compatible with freebsd? Looks s(l)ickHave you got one of these? Or something like this?

How ? I thought the driver was loaded in kldstat and it was working ?I don't understand why i915kms.ko isn't used by Xorg. As you also seem to have a '32:9, also known as "super" ultra-wide' monitor, perhaps it would help getting i915kms to work.
Ok installed scrot and took a png screenshot - pkg couldn't search for identify but file manager program shows 1920x1080 for the png imageOK, can you take a screenshot of the entire screen. If your wm doesn't have a keybinding to do that, you can use a program called scrot, like this:-
As root:-
# pkg install scrot
then as you
$ mkdir Pictures (if it doesn't already exist)
Then use this little script:-
me3@eep3:~/bin $ cat screenshot.sh
#!/bin/sh
scrot '%F-%T_$wx$h.png' -e 'mv $f ~/Pictures/'
When you run the program it will do a screen grab of your entire screen and write a .png file fo ~/Pictures.
Then post it here.
Oh that's likely because I did it via inspect element on the browser - not some extension or shortcut.So I'm going to ask the obvious question... why is your browser window only 591 pixels high?
Here you go - why is this required?ok show me the image here... the 1920x1080 screenshot you just took with scrot?
I may have missed something but:How ? I thought the driver was loaded in kldstat and it was working ? [*]
and in your Xorg.0.log I see:I had a quick look at your Xorg.0.log, that machine is using the modesetting driver with glamor acceleration, and the screen is 1920x1080, which doesn't seem particularly high. You don't have the intel driver loaded, you would need to install xf86-video-intel to use that driver, however the modesetting driver should work fine, the log looks OK.

) but it does not seem to be used by Xorg. On my very old laptop with no iGPU whatsoever, I can happily specify kld_list="i915kms"
and it will get loaded without any error, but there is no way it can be utilized by my CPU or my NVIDIA graphics card.
