  It currently maps to wl_ouptut. It maps to how Qt does it's DPI painting.

  all
  
  I agree. 
  Yet, your patch does the opposite. It literally scales the mode.
  
  Same for geometry being "unscaled"
  
  -------
  
  Lets avoid the those terms. They're confusing.
  
  Geometry should be in logical size. 
  Mode should be in device size.
  
  We do have an issue that X and wayland require everything backwards
  
  On wayland (which is important to test please! )  everything is in logical space. If I have a 2000x2000px montior @2x, the monitor to the right of it has X=1000
  For X we have no knowledge,  we're always in device space, so the second monitor has X=2000
  
  We have this difference for positioning windows too.
  
  The only way to keep this sane is to think in terms of logical and device pixels, and make sure abstraction happens in the right place.
