I'll admit that I'm not familiar with awesome wm, but I just wanted to let
you know that the new version of i3 that just hit Arch a few days ago now
supports HiDPI displays. I'm looking forward to trying it when the Lenovo
Y50 w/HiDPI becomes available next month.

Hi all,
It's the first time I am requesting help through this distribution list. So excuse me if I am in the wrong place.
So, here is my point: I have a lenovo T540p with a 3K screen display and, as one could image, I have very small fonts and icons which are barelly visible at normal distance from the screen. I've manage to increase fonts size in my configurations files. However, from time to time I need to connect to a 19" monitor(1280x1024) and the result is terrible (to say the least).
Is there someone who is in the same situation? and what is your workaround? Please note that I am using Awesome WM and thus cannot use the scaling factor(Gnome 3) as described here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/HiDPI
One option I thought of would be to create an udev rule that would detect the monitor's connection and trigger a script that would make all the necessary connfiguration changes. What do you guys think?
Thanks!
