[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1825593] Re: Display scale and layout not remembered when X11 Fractional Scaling is enabled
I should have thought of this earlier... * Please don't comment here if you are using the proprietary Nvidia driver. The Nvidia driver has its own unique problems as is not yet supported. * Please don't comment here if your display settings are not remembered when using scale 100%.

We are tracking the issue in this bug now. Sorry for any confusion. As I understand it we just need to avoid hitting the error "Logical monitors not adjacent". ** No longer affects: gnome-control-center (Ubuntu) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-control-center in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1825593 Title: Display scale and layout not remembered when X11 Fractional Scaling is enabled Status in mutter package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: After upgrading to 19.04, I enabled the experimental 'x11-randr- fractional-scaling' setting.

Hello people So the bug report https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell/+bug/1852860 is closed, and this post you said it's not a suitable thread. (and at the same time gnome refuses to fix it and Ask Ubuntu closes the bug).
