Description of problem: Installing from CentOS7 1602 ISO on Dell xps13 with 4k screen is very unfriendly(minuscule text) adding the fact that it's a touchscreen makes it orders of magnitude worse Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): CentOS-7 DVD iso, build 1602 How reproducible: Try to install RHEL7/CentOS7 on xps13(9350) with 4k touch screen. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Boot xps13(9350) from RHEL ISO 2. Try to navigate in anaconda Actual results: * Minuscule text * Very touch unfriendly GUI Expected results: Anaconda should detect the screen size and resolution and take that into account on boot. It should be possible to switch to touchscreen mode when anaconda starts Additional info:
What version of anaconda is this? As of RHEL 7.2 (anaconda-21.48.8 onwards), anaconda does take the display resolution into account, using the same heuristics that GNOME does. A display with a height of 1200 pixels or greater and with a dpi greater than 192 will be scaled so that everything appears twice as large in the graphical installer. Can you also attach /tmp/X.log and /tmp/anaconda.log from the installation environment? Are there any particular problems with using a touch screen other than the resolution?
I used the latest iso available at the time of making this ticket. It turned out that gnome was taking the screen size and resolution in to account. I have since this installed an alternative distribution and don't have time for testing this further atm.
