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

Re: [Bug 1870736] Re: [nvidia] Screen scaling 125% gives 200%
Fundamentally it's fair to blame nvidia's closed source drivers because the open source one seems to do fractional scaling properly. Other than that what's the point in assigning blame? I'm not sure someone is even paying attention to this bug report, I probably would turn off notifications if it were me volunteering and trying to repair a closed source blob going constantly hassled about not fixing it yet. We really need to learn to be patient. Maybe we can pitch in to pay someone to make the feature work. Until then...

Re: [Bug 1870736] Re: [nvidia] Screen scaling 125% gives 200%
Honestly, the only way to get anything approaching reliable "fractional scaling" that I've found, is to lower the resolution of the smaller monitor by a ratio similar to its relative screen size. e.g. in my case, I have two 4k monitors (one external, one a laptop monitor) where the laptop monitor is about 1/3 of the physical size of the external monitor. Dropping the internal monitor's resolution from 3840x2160 to 1920x1080 finally makes everything the same size on both screens - without any slow down - only it's a bit of a waste of a 4k display :-/ On 11.05.20 21:55, Timo wrote: > Having the same issue... > But the tmp fix, posted by kristo on 2020-05-06 works great for me too: > Browsers, my IDE (Intellij Idea), Slack, Thunderbird, the terminal, they all > scale very well. > I increased the size of the mouse pointer, the dock icons and the icons in > nautilus as well.

Re: [Bug 1870736] Re: [nvidia] Screen scaling 125% gives 200%
Error still present after update for me. Two 3840x2160 screens - one a DELL XPS 15 laptop screen which is half the physical size of my BenQ monitor. Using NVIDIA driver metapackage 440. With fractional scaling, if I set the inbuilt monitor to 150%, the EXTERNAL monitor seems to half its visible resolution, quadrupling its virtual screen size, so only the top left corner is actually displayed on the monitor.

Re: [Bug 1870736] Re: [nvidia] Screen scaling 125% gives 200%
I tried text trick already, but unfortunately it doesn’t really solve the problem. All of the regular UI elements (icons etc) remain tiny. I would really suggest if we could please not go that route, and instead focus on fixing the scaling properly, if possible.

Re: [Bug 1870736] Re: [nvidia] Screen scaling 125% gives 200%
Running into this on a single 4k monitor with 125%, which worked well on 19.10. Now with 20.04, every time I click on 125% it will show the “zoomed in” portion of the screen instead (so when I move mouse to the edges of the screen, it “slides” the viewport towards that instead). In addition, it doesn’t preserve the 125% setting as others mentioned. Using proprietary Nvidia driver.
