Title:
Fractional scaling of external monitor and monitor positioning are
lost
I set up and save the two configurations separately in gnome-control-
center, but they are not applied when switching modes with Super+P (or
with the dedicated key) or when switching modes in gnome-control-center,
the settings don't persist.
The settings are saved in ~/.config/monitors.xml when
I'm assuming you're using the equivalent feature of Super+P. Some models
of laptop have a dedicated key to do the same thing.
Looking at gnome-shell's switchMonitor.js it looks pretty simple but I
would recommend editing your ~/.config/monitors.xml and ensuring the
scaling settings you want are
"Single" and "extended" display modes sound like different
configurations. You need to set each up separately with your preferred
settings in gnome-control-center, and save the settings of each. If you
have done that, and especially if you have verified it's been saved in
~/.config/monitors.xml
