How do you replicate Virtual Super Resolution on Debian based distro?
Or like anything what would make GUI scale to make GUI more productive..
Thanks for any help (☞ﾟヮﾟ)☞
INFORMATIONS
This setup has one 1080p 60' monitor that is practically not useble to work with this scale for intended workload (Gaming, Audio-visual production, etc..)
Temporary GPU - ATI Sapphire 7870 AND AMD Radeon 7870
AMD has two names for this GPU as far as i know.

TRIED SOLUTIONS
Change font size
- Helped, but not much.
- I can scale fonts so that its practically unreadable, but GUI stays the same.
Change icon size
- Helped, but not much.
- Same as fonts, GUI is the same.
Switch from XFCE4 on KDE and change DPI for monitor in GUI
- Helped a lot, but still i need it to scale below “1â€Â.
Modify xrandr for virtual resolution
- it seems to work, but screen can render just 1/4 at a time and the rest is accesable by moving cursor to the edge of the screen. Or it has black screen on ¾ of set screen which are non-useble.
- Tried command:
xrandr --output DVI-I-0 --mode 1920x1080 --fbmm 2560x1440 --nograb --rate 60 - Seems that 3D applications can’t use 2560x1440 and nothing changes. I try to find something usefull in man pages and i found command “--Transformâ€Â, but based on provided informations i don’t know how to use it and it seems that it doesn’t have intended effect. Image here: https://imgur.com/a/ZiyMAe4
Generate resolution using umc (Universal Moderline Calculator) and add it as mode to xrandr, then run it.
- Resulted in blackscreen same as cvr.
using "--scale" in xrandr allows me to replicate Virtual Super Resolution. (thanks to @Lienhart Woitok)
- The problem now is that i can't access that part of the screen with cursor, but apps seems to be able to.
- Testing different presets in xrandr now.

PROBLEM SOLVED RUNNING
xrandr --output DVI-I-0 --fb 2560x1440 --panning 2560x1440 --scale 1.333x1.333 --rate 60
(Don't copy+paste it into your system, try it with your variables!)

I haven't found any simmilar article on this forum nor on the internet and i can't fix this issue by myself. (☉_☉)

I was able to solve the issue by executing:
xrandr --output DVI-I-0 --fb 2560x1440 --panning 2560x1440 --scale 1.333x1.333 --rate 60
(Don't copy+paste it into your system, try it with your variables!)

In KDE Plasma (I'm using Kubuntu 18.04):
- Settings
- Display and Monitor
- Displays
- Advance Settings
- Scale Display
Move the slider to the scaling level you desire, click Apply, then reboot.
