[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1825593] Re: Display scale not remembered when X11 Fractional Scaling is enabled
Hi Daniel, Thanks. `dpkg -s libmutter-6-0 | grep Version` indicated I was still on the old version, turns out I had upgraded mutter, but also needed to upgrade libmutter as well: # apt upgrade mutter/focal-proposed # apt upgrade gir1.2-mutter-6/focal-proposed libmutter-6-0/focal-proposed I've run the upgrade and rebooted and the settings are now read correctly (the screen layout and scaling were preserved after the restart). Nothing more needed at this point, issue appears fixed to me.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1825593] Re: Display scale not remembered when X11 Fractional Scaling is enabled
Hi Daniel, Unsure if your response was aimed at me, but I can confirm that the behaviour is still present for me and that neither of those criteria apply to me. I'm using AMDGPU (AMD Radeon 5700XT) with three monitors attached and fractional scaling enabled. Additional Observations === * With Fractional Scaling enabled, but all three screens at 100%, display layout is restored at startup. * With Fractional Scaling enabled, but screen 3 (the 4k monitor) set at 125% or 150% scaling, the monitor layout and scaling are reset at startup. If there's any more information you need, I'm happy to help, just let me know what you need!
