4k and Openbox

Try this file in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/00-dpifix.conf (call it whatever you want, the name is unimportant):

Section "Monitor"
    Identifier "Monitor0"
    Option "DPI" "120 x 120"
EndSection

If that doesn't work, try:

Section "Device"
    Driver "amdgpu"
    Identifier "Device0"
    Option "DPI" "120 x 120"
EndSection

(I am presuming that the amdgpu driver is in use, change the name in the file if this is not the case)

Okay excellent, thank you for that. I am guessing correctly that Monitor0 should actually be the name of the monitors on my system, in my case DisplayPort-0 and HDMI-A-0? How should this be implemented to work for dual monitors or will Monitor0 suffice for both?

No, just use what I have posted.

For another monitor I think you would add another stanza with Monitor1 as the Identifier but I've never even had one monitor so I'm not completely sure.

Perhaps just try the Device section first then as that should apply to all monitors.

There is also the option of specifying the monitor size explicitly in the configuration file, that should set the DPI automatically then.

See https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Xo … ze_and_DPI for more on this.

OKay thanks Hoas, I will test.
