Support for HiDPI screens #215

Hi

Im useing Gnome 3.26 and the iio works as intendet in normal scaleing (1) or bigger mode (2).

However as 2 is to big and one is to small. I use xrandr to scale the diplay down to 1.25 from 2. This works really well in landscape mode. But when i turn the display the orientation gets switch but not the scaleing. So its all bigger in porträt mode.

Would it be possible with not much hassle to include a scaleing config parmater so it would scale to the correct size when flipping the screen ?

Thanks

From the README:

Note that nothing in iio-sensor-proxy is GNOME specific, or relies on GNOME. GNOME and geoclue use the data provided by iio-sensor-proxy, other desktop environments are more than welcome to use this as a basis for their own integration.

iio-sensor-proxy doesn't touch your display configuration, or anything else in your session, it just reads sensors.

This can be useful in other DEs like XFCE Mate etc, its not a Gnome problem so to speak.

But i think i see what you mean. However this leaves me at a loss and means i problay need to do iio functions via script that do what i want but are ugly. :-(

Thanks anyway for looking into my direction.

iio-sensor-proxy doesn't touch the display at all, I can't fix the bug (if it is a bug) mentioned in your comment, even if I wanted to.
