Subject: Re: Two monitors with very different resolutions<br>

Hello,<br>
<br>
I use XFCE4 on my Debian Buster box. I just added a UHD monitor to my <br>
desk, side by<br>
side with a "mere" HD (1080p) monitor. With the basic settings, this <br>
means that I can<br>
set DPI to make text on the HD monitor huge, or as an alternative make <br>
the text on<br>
the UHD monitor tiny.<br>
<br>
Is there a setting in XFCE to have the DPI settings on the two monitors <br>
be different? Or<br>
in general, to accommodate two monitors with very different resolutions? <br>
Other graphical<br>
subsystems [coughWindowscough] can do this automatically.<br>
<br>
Thank you.<br>
