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,

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

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

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

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. On Thu, May 14, 2020 at 10:35 AM

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
