SUMMARY On a Framework Laptop 13 with KDE neon (Testing) with 2880x1920 display, the text box and other controls on the SDDM login screen are tiny. Anyone without eagle-eyesight will need to bend their head closer to the screen in order to use it. SDDM can use kwin_wayland which features automatic scale detection, but this is not currently used. Shortly after the Plasma 6.3.1 release, neon ships with two neon-specific configuration files [1] for SDDM, neither of which specifies the Wayland backend.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Install neon 2. Boot laptop OBSERVED RESULT Password field uses a very small font. EXPECTED RESULT Password field looks similar to other text boxes after session login, which are rightly sized by default. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Operating System: Ubuntu 24.04.2 LTS (Noble Numbat) - damn, I would have expected this to say KDE neon Testing KDE Plasma Version: 6.3.2 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.12.0 Qt Version: 6.8.2 Kernel Version: 6.11.0-17-generic (64-bit) Graphics Platform: Wayland Processors: 16 × AMD Ryzen 7 7840U w/ Radeon 780M Graphics Memory: 30.7 GiB of RAM Graphics Processor: AMD Radeon 780M Manufacturer: Framework Product Name: Laptop 13 (AMD Ryzen 7040Series) System Version: A7 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Maliit virtual keyboard didn't show for me despite specifying it as command line parameter. This is also true in the session though, not sure if due to misconfiguration or Maliit deficiencies or the fact that I have a keyboard and touchpad available.

https://invent.kde.org/neon/neon/settings/-/commit/ae2cd811adc5458763ef59541aa050656b2de256 should allow the virtualkeyboard to work for sddm.
Operating System: Ubuntu 24.04.2 LTS (Noble Numbat) - damn, I would have expected this to say KDE neon Testing this should already be fixed by: https://invent.kde.org/neon/forks/base-files/-/commit/7c99e0d77814e15ffde9480184aa51ab3189cbe8
unfortunately "SDDM considers its Wayland support experimental." so wayland as default isn't really an option. does creating a /usr/lib/sddm/sddm.conf.d/00neon-hidpi.conf with: [Wayland] EnableHiDPI=true [X11] EnableHiDPI=true help in anyway?? works here but would like confirmation from someone else ;)
