Scalling dont work properly after install las update

[4strodev]

I updated my pc and I don’t remember what was. Pacman change one package by other and all the icons and applications show extremerly big. I was searching and I have installed wayland and xorg, so I don’t know if it comes from xorg or wayland. I tried to use other DE or WM (qtile) I have the same problem. I have te rescale all and some applications like virtualbox still showing big.

I’m using:
mate: 1.26
mesa: 21.2.4
linux: 5.14.16
wayland: 1.19
xorg: 21.1.1

Edit: After a little search I found what package was updated in my system: xdg-desktop-portal-gtk was updated 2021-11-10 the same day that I updated my pc.

I hope it can help.

Update again, xorg has a new point release which should fix it.

Huge text and icons in KDE Plasma after xorg update

The latest xorg (X11) update has an “interesting” side effect on KDE Plasma. There’s a thread on Reddit about it (with solutions) here - https://www.reddit.com/r/kde/comments/qqi9z8/updated_kde_and_suddenly_everything_is_huge/ The solution I have applied is also in this tweet - edit /etc/sddm.conf and add: [X11] ServerArguments=-nolisten tcp -dpi 96 I went with this as it works, and is easy to undo once xorg is fixed.
