This bug is somewhat expected because fractional scaling works by rendering the desktop at a higher resolution than your screen. So it will take more mouse movement for the pointer to cross the screen.
Integer scaling doesn't work that way so the mouse should move at "normal" speed there. ** Tags added: xrandr-scaling ** Package changed: xorg (Ubuntu) => mutter (Ubuntu) ** Changed in: mutter (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Low ** Changed in: mutter (Ubuntu) Status: New => Triaged -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to xorg in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1902436 Title: Mouse slow in fractional scaling Status in mutter package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: I have a Dell XPS 17 with a 3,840 x 2,400 screen and an external monitor with 3840 x 1600 resolution. When I use only one of them it works totally fine. I use the external monitor without scaling and my notebook display with fractional scaling of 150%. But when i want to use both at the same time, my mouse starts to be slow. So in this scenario i have the external monitor at 100% and the notebook screen at 150%. Everything works fine expect the mouse which is slow,on both screens. What I found is, when i set both my screens to 200% while fractional scaling is enabled. The issue is gone. Same with 100%. But as soon as I start using fractions, the mouse is slow again. I don't believe it is an power issue because my hardware is mostly in idle. Also, i tried different mouses over Bluetooth and USB but no change. I am currently using 20.10 but had the same issue with 20.04. But when i use Wayland, the problem is gone.
