[Question] Display Management on tiling wm - eviltoast

BSPWM, laptop has 1920x1080 resolution, external screen has 1680x1050. xrandr --output DP-1 1680x1050 cuts image, if I change resolution to 1920x1080, I get “full” image, but quality is just bad. I have another machine with XFCE, it’s display utility does the trick and I wonder can I achieve smth similar on BSPWM with some simple console command?

    determine is the XFCE system is using sddm, lightdm, gdm3, there are other login managers as well, but those 3 are the most common.

    you can then setup the same login manager kn the other system.

    unless they are the same and it’s just a scaling issue due to the monitor resolution.

    then I guess you could try the alternative login managers, and see if any look better.
