Created attachment 102996 [details]
wired look for dual screen

With a laptop whose resolution is 3200x1800 and external 24 inch monitor whose resolution is 1920x1080, I try to solve the scale issue.
follow the archlinux's wiki, I use `xrandr --output eDP1 --auto --output DP1 --auto --panning 3840x2160+3200+0 --scale 2x2 --right-of eDP1`. Everything work properly, except the desktop looks wired as in the attachment.
Thanks for your work.
