I have no idea how.? All I can find is the Hi-DPi settings in Gnome-Tweak but, of course, it only lets? me choose to scale from "1" to "2" which makes things way too big.

If for example, your output is eDP1 then xrandr --output eDP1 --scale .8x.8 The smaller the scaling, the larger the size, so I think that .5x.5 would be what the tweak tool is offering. -- Scott Robbins PGP keyID EB3467D6 ( 1B48 077D 66F6 9DB0 FDC2 A409 FA54 EB34 67D6 ) gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys EB3467D6

I've got it working now.? What I ended up doing was adding video=1600x900 to my boot / kernel command line to test and then appended it in my grub menu. I screwed around with font scaling with Gnome Tweak and also in about:config of Firefox and Thunderbird but there was always something that looked funny and some webpages didn't come out right. setting my resolution to 1600x900 is a cheesy, yet effective, way to do get what I need. ...Now if I can just get my touchpad to FRICK'N disable while typing.
