You can make it scale websites (they look beautiful) but you cannot scale the tabs. You can install a theme like FT GraphiteGlow theme to deal with that.Īlternatively, and this is what I do, you can use the NoSquint add-on to set the default zoom level to something like 150% or 200%. This will also increase the size of tabs and other UI elements, including ugly scaled icons. The standard recommendation is to set =1.5 To set menu and tooltip fonts edit ~/.config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini with something like: To set the in buffer fonts for emacs, add (add-to-list 'default-frame-alist Anyway, I spent too much time playing with fonts already, so “Arial 6.5” it is. For now I’m using “Arial 6.5” but it’s a tad bit too fat for my liking. I really liked my Helvetica bitmap unscaled menu fonts on my old device. The main issue with setting up Debian/testing or any GNU Linux on Retina Macbook Pros is dealing with that gourgeous hidpi screen. Disabling wakeup from USB via echo XHC1 > /proc/acpi/wakeup If your computer suspends but wakes up after a few seconds it seems some device sends a rouge wakeup signal. To locally patch grub under Debian see Raphael Hertzog’s intro to patching Debian packages. Also, I don’t seem to be able to actually disable the NVIDIA card, so power consumption was still bad (4h maybe). I can confirm this works, but you’ll loose your external monitor if you run the Intel chip as the display port connectors only connect to the NVIDIA card. To get the Intel card to work you need to patch grub and run gfxCardStatus under OSX which disables the NVIDIA card. People made the same card work but I had no luck so far. Screen Backlightĭoesn’t work with the NVIDIA driver. Nouveau is also quite slow as it does not support frequency switching yet. With the Nouveau drivers it works, but won’t resume from suspend properly. gfxCardStatus keeps track of which graphics card your 2010 MacBook Pro is using and allows you to switch between them manually. Well, that’s how my Macbook Pro connects the display to the graphics card. While NVIDIA did add initial support for switching between efifb and X in 319, this does not support displays yet which are connected via Display Port. The consoles run at native resultion using efifb. ( Update: setpci -v -H1 -s 00:01.00 BRIDGE_CONTROL=0 does the trick) NVIDIA’s proprietary drivers do not support changing the backlight and switching back to the console, this sucks. Switching between X and console when using NVIDIA’s driver Install kernel ≥ 3.13 and most things just work™. Generally speaking, the best resource is the Arch Wiki so below I’ll only cover what isn’t covered there. Here is what works, what doesn’t and what tweaks I applied. I have used Debian/testing on my new Macbook Pro for a few months now.
