[kwin] [Bug 441705] New: Add a kwin rule to disable scaling for some wayland window
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=441705 Bug ID: 441705 Summary: Add a kwin rule to disable scaling for some wayland window Product: kwin Version: unspecified Platform: Archlinux Packages OS: Linux Status: REPORTED Severity: normal Priority: NOR Component: wayland-generic Assignee: kwin-bugs-n...@kde.org Reporter: pranavtaysh...@gmail.com Target Milestone: --- SUMMARY In Wayland by design, compositors can ask client to scale only in integers, therefore in fractional scaling compositors ask client for integer scale and then scale it down. This causes some problem in "full-screen" apps like Kodi or games supporting wayland, because they DON'T need scaling of any kind. So, it would be great if there was a kwin rule to disable scaling for some wayland clients like SDL Games or apps like Kodi. There is ongoing discussion to solve this problem on displays requiring fractional scaling on wayland-protocols here: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/wayland/wayland-protocols/-/issues/47 and as I understand its not possible for xwayland apps to disable scaling for single app only (Unable to find a link for it on internet but I read it somewhere on nate graham's blog). Therefore, this would be a great stop gap measure until awaylnd protocol is finalized. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Open Kodi or wayland supported game on a fractionally scaled display 2. You will observe slight blurriness - for systematic check: check resolution in the app's settings. OBSERVED RESULT It will show either a large resolution or smaller resolution from which kwin is scaling it down or up. EXPECTED RESULT To NOT scale at all.

So this problem is not distribution specific. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
