1366x768 to lower res?

[RMJ]

I'm running arch on a Samsung Chromebook.

1366x768 makes everything too small for my eyes on this tiny screen.

I tried a lot of different modes but noone seems to "lower res".
Only 1280x800 worked and did not fullscreen, but used my screen partially.




Does anybody have an idea what to do?


Here's what I added to the system in order to test (everything generated from cvt):
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '

xrandr --newmode "768x480_60.00" 28.75 768 792 864 960 480 483 489 500 -hsync +vsync

Try just increasing dpi

Sorry but I did not get it

[Gyscos]

Many desktop environment offer options to enlarge the UI (text font, window sizes, ...) without actually lowering the screen resolution.

[RMJ]

I understand.
But doing it all manually, is horror!

I was trying something a little less time and resources consuming

Screen scaling will cause fuzzy text. In xfce you can go to Appearance -> Fonts -> DPI and adjust it.
