title: Cygwin: xwin scaling broken when using windows scaling on high resolution display
body: <p>Using a laptop with a 4k screen and windows scaling turned on so that text looks the same size it would on a 1080p display. </p>
  
  <p>When I open cygwin and run <code>startxwin</code> xwin starts but at the resolution of the 4k display, not the scaled down 1080 resolution. Worse, when I connect another monitor i.e. a 2560x1440 display and make that the main display, now when I run startxwin it generates an xterm window on that new display but scaled down <strong><em>below</em></strong> the native resolution of the monitor so that it looks the same size as it did on the 4k native resolution (it's rendered with 4 times fewer pixels and looks awful). </p>
  
  <p>What this tells me is that xwin is capable of scaling, but the configuration is wrong. Looking through documentation for xwin, I can't find a reference to scaling and I didn't really want to become an expert on xwin just to get my x terminals to appear the right size. </p>
  
  <p>Does anybody know cygwin's xwin package well enough to provide a scaling how-to?</p>
  
  <p>If not, does somebody have a better way of spawning multiple terminal sessions through a single ssh session? (i.e. how you can launch as many x windows as you want through a secured ssh session)</p>
