# OneAssuming you want to run a remote X application, and you want that application to use HiDPI
# Twoinstall XQuartz#: for example <code>brew cask install xquartz</code># enable full screen mode in XQuartz# ssh -Snone -X z800.local#: <code>-Snone</code> is important because session multiplexing doesn't work very well with X forwarding.# run <code>xterm</code>#: we need an X (non-native) terminal for later.# in a native terminal run <code>xrandr --output default --mode 5120x2880 --dpi 218</code>#: unfortunately we can't make this permanent, after this, you will be in high resolution full screen X, with a very tiny xterm.# run whatever application from that xterm#: you might need to force HiDPI mode for that application, but it should have all pixels available.# to get out of X, press CMD+Opt+A#: unfortunately this turns off the X resolution# to get back into X at the correct resolution, run <code>xrandr --output default --mode 5120x2880 --dpi 218</code> again in the native terminal. It's awful, but it works.
