I'm running the latest Vivid packages and in the last update I did on Monday my laptop has started to do some strange scaling behavior once the desktop starts. I can see a flash at the lightdm login screen where it goes from proper scale to zoomed in, yet I can't find any way to reset it back to a normal setup.

This is causing all of my fonts on my apps to be huge and even things like urxvt are scaled such that what used to be fine at 12pt font I have to shrink down to 6pt get to a decent size.

Any ideas where to look? I tried poking through the display settings in Unity but nothing seemed to jump out at me and xrandr isn't telling me that anyone's got a scaling factor set in there.
