Daniel van Vugt: @vanvugt: It is safe to say that, when using Nvidia drivers, the fractional scaling is completely broken.
- You can't set the scale differently on different monitors (basic functionality) - The fractional scaling doesn't work at all (even if you set it to be the same for both or multiple monitors) There are several (almost 50) different hardware configurations having this issue and there are several "workarounds" all of which have their own issues. This is an extremely basic functionality and something that is needed as I have read that *the most common* way to work right now is a laptop with one external display. If using Nvidia drivers, that setup does not work. Can you tell me how to get involved or what I can do to get this working? It has been several months and I'd like to solve this problem. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-control-center in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1870736 Title: [nvidia] Screen scaling 125% gives 200% Status in gnome-control-center package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in mutter package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Procedure used: 1.
