Comment 83 for bug 589485

I'm not sure if this is being worked on for the Unity desktop in Ubuntu, but you might like to try the Ubuntu GNOME 14.04 "Trusty Tahr" beta 1 which is based on GNOME 3.10 - see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/TrustyTahr/Beta1/UbuntuGNOME for info and download links. As per https://help.gnome.org/misc/release-notes/3.10/more-core-ux.html.en GNOME 3.10 includes High-Resolution Display Support. Further improvements are coming to the GNOME Shell in GNOME 3.12 which is scheduled for release in March or early April - see http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=MTYwMjE
