Re: [Bug 1870736] Re: [nvidia] Screen scaling 125% gives 200%

2020-12-13 Thread giacomo benelli
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.

Thank you very much

@Brian Neltner

Assigning blame of course is not helping. However, let me mention that
some of us in this bug report is running "Ubuntu certified" hardware
(i.e. Dell XPS). If that is supposed to mean anything at all, at some
point I'd expect at least a plan, as David Smoot was mentioning.

But again, not complaining... Nvidia is free to not fix this at all.
Chipping in for devs sounds like a good idea, count me in :)

I'm wondering if there are any plans about the date for a fix...? It's
been months now. Thanks

Having exactly the same issue with a Dell XPS 7590, NVIDIA GeForce GTX
1650 and Ubuntu 20.04.1,kernel 5.4.0-42-generic.

I had to revert to nouveau driver, and it now works correctly.
