 Chooses the scaling filter method to be applied when  the  screen
              is scaled or transformed.  Can be either ’bilinear’ or ’nearest’.

       --scale x[xy]
              Changes  the dimensions of the output picture.  If the y value is
              omitted, the x value will be used for  both  dimensions.   Values
              larger  than 1 lead to a compressed screen (screen dimension big‐
              ger than the dimension of the output mode), and values less  than
              1  lead  to  a  zoom in on the output.  This option is actually a
              shortcut version of the --transform option.

       --scale‐from wxh
              Specifies the size in pixels of the area of the framebuffer to be
              displayed on this output.  This option  is  actually  a  shortcut
              version of the --transform option.

       --primary
              Set  the  output as primary.  It will be sorted first in Xinerama
              and RANDR geometry requests.

RandR version 1.2 options
       These options are only available for X server supporting  RandR  version
       1.2 or newer.

       --prop, --properties
              This  option  causes xrandr to display the contents of properties
              for each output. --verbose also enables --prop.

       --fb widthxheight
              Reconfigures the screen to the  specified  size.  All  configured
              monitors  must fit within this size. When this option is not pro‐
              vided, xrandr computes the smallest screen size  that  will  hold
              the  set  of  configured  outputs;  this option provides a way to
              override that behaviour.

       --fbmm widthxheight
              Sets the value reported as physical size of the  X  screen  as  a
              whole  (union of all configured monitors). In configurations with
              multiple monitors with different DPIs, the value has no  physical
              meaning,  but  it may be used by some legacy clients which do not
              support RandR version 1.2 to compute a  reference  font  scaling.
              Normally, xrandr resets the reported physical size values to keep
              the  DPI  constant.  This overrides that computation. Default DPI
              value is 96.

       --dpi dpi

       --dpi from‐output
              This also sets the value reported  as  physical  size  of  the  X
              screen as a whole (union of all configured monitors). In configu‐
              rations with multiple monitors with different DPIs, the value has
              no  physical  meaning,  but it may be used by some legacy clients
              which do not support RandR version 1.2  to  compute  a  reference
              font scaling. This option uses either the specified DPI value, or
              the  DPI  of the given output, to compute an appropriate physical
              size using whatever pixel size will be set.  Typical  values  are
              the default (96 DPI), the DPI of the only monitor in single‐moni‐
              tor  configurations,  or the DPI of the primary monitor in multi‐
              monitor configurations.

       --newmode name mode
              New modelines can be added to the server and then associated with
              outputs.  This option does the former. The mode is specified  us‐
              ing  the  ModeLine  syntax  for xorg.conf: clock hdisp hsyncstart
              hsyncend htotal vdisp vsyncstart vsyncend vtotal flags. flags can
              be zero or more of +HSync,  ‐HSync,  +VSync,  ‐VSync,  Interlace,
              DoubleScan,  CSync,  +CSync, ‐CSync. Several tools permit to com‐
              pute the usual modeline from a height, width, and  refresh  rate,
              for instance you can use cvt.

       --rmmode name
              This removes a mode from the server if it is otherwise unused.

       --addmode output name
              Add a mode to the set of valid modes for an

Title: xrandr: Scaling Options, Primary Output, and RandR 1.2 Options (Properties, Framebuffer, DPI, New/Remove/Add Mode)
Summary
This section covers xrandr options including scaling filters, output scaling, setting primary output, and options specific to RandR 1.2. RandR 1.2 options include displaying output properties, reconfiguring the framebuffer size, setting physical screen size (FBMM), adjusting DPI, and managing video modes (adding, removing, and associating modes with outputs).
