I'd like if possible to ask a question to those who report that the nvidia kms workaround "works".
In my experience, it makes indeed possible to work with fractional scaling, but the performance is absolutely abysmal: I have tearing issues, drawing issues and general extreme low performance, comparable to the Xorg driver. Despite this being OK while waiting for proper support, I don't think this can be a definitive solution. So, is it just me doing something wrong and possibly needing to fix something else or is this the same experience for everybody? No polemic intent, just would like to assess what "it works" means in this context.
