    Description

      Running on one single HiDPI screen, I have my Gnome scaled to 200% but Qt does not pick it up correctly and GUIs look bizarre:

      qtdiag writes:

      Screens: 1, High DPI scaling: inactive
# 0 "DP1" Depth: 24 Primary: yes
  Manufacturer: Acer Technologies
  Model: B326HK-
  Serial number: T1NEE0018532-
  Geometry: 3840x2160+0+0 Available: 3732x2100+108+60
  Physical size: 710x400 mm  Refresh: 59 Hz Power state: 0
  Physical DPI: 137.375,137.16 Logical DPI: 192,192 Subpixel_None
  DevicePixelRatio: 1 Pixel density: 1
  Primary orientation: 2 Orientation: 2 Native orientation: 0 OrientationUpdateMask: 0

      If I explicitly set a scaling factor using QT_SCREEN_SCALE_FACTORS=2 GUIs start to look acceptable and qtdiag instead writes:

      Screens: 1, High DPI scaling: active
# 0 "DP1" Depth: 24 Primary: yes
  Manufacturer: Acer Technologies
