I want to add something here: I'm using the xrandr scale setting since
19.04 as fractional scaling has never worked on Ubuntu and X11. In the
last versions the monitor settings weren't stored.

In my experience when setting the display resolutions / scaling with
xrandr, my NVIDIA card would always black out when I tried to change
anything after setting the initial xrandr command. Either through xrandr
or the display settings. It is also impossible to disconnect a monitor
after setting the scaling, as the card would then black out too.

Restarting the Gnome Server always helps in those cases.

Here's my current script at startup, when setting the 200% scaling in the 
settings:
```
SCALE=1.25
POSITION=4800
xrandr --output DP-4 --primary --pos "0x0" --scale "$SCALE"x"$SCALE" --output 
DP-0 --scale "$SCALE"x"$SCALE" --auto --pos "$POSITION"x0
```
