Dell XPS 13
Dell XPS 13
Does anyone got Porteus 3.1+ working on the Dell XPS 13 ?
It has 4k Display, but I dont see any way to scale it like on ubuntu.
Moving the Windows feels very laggy, so the GPU Support doesnt seem to work. Any ideas ?
Kind regards

It is behaving the same. The GPU doesnt seem to work.

See arch wiki:

I would give a try with xrandr. Let's see the output.

Result of xrandr:
I have used porteus now for a long time on different pc's, but something strange happens with the xps 13: When booting up Porteus 3.1 KDE in boot2ram (like I do on every machine), the boot process hangs on the point where the Cursor/underline keeps blinking on the top right of the screen. On my pc it keeps blinking for like 2 seconds, but on the xps it blinks for like 20 seconds. After that the xps has a hard time to build up the interface of the KDE, the white mouse cursor appears and again hangs for like 10 seconds till the loading bar finally occours.... its a strange behavior indeed. On pc all this goes much faster. So there seems to be another problem maybe.
I like to work with the boot2ram function of porteus like I ever did, is there a way to install the GPU drivers for the xps13 and make it available in the boot2ram porteus ?
kind regards for the responses yet! The xps 13 is really a nice peace of notebook, I really would love beeing able to use porteus on it running well with the GPU drivers.
Even without the scaling of the 4k Display it would be fine to use porteus. The scaling is not that big problem. The GPU support is.root@porteus:~# xrandr

Re: Dell XPS 13
Just make two scripts one for computing, the other for maximum video resolution.

Until he solves with your help the installation of the video firmware with some of your help.

Evan, the object, goal, is to get the software & hardware to work together in a reasonable period of time. Improving, perfecting, the fix comes later.

Re: Dell XPS 13
To support high end graphics sometimes one may need high end software. While I like Porteus a lot I wouldn't classify it as high end. I got a notebook for christmas and no version of Porteus ran on it. It is what it is.
