Public bug reported: The first part of our work on better handling of HI-DPI screens got merged upstream in 3.32, but it's for wayland only https://blog.3v1n0.net/informatica/linux/gnome-shell-fractional-scaling-in-wayland-landed/
Since our default session in Ubuntu is based on xorg we would like to distro patch the x11 equivalent for Disco so our users can benefit from the feature. Updates packages are up for testing in that ppa https://launchpad.net/~3v1n0/+archive/ubuntu/mutter-x11-fractional-scaling The main change is https://launchpadlibrarian.net/415722066/mutter_3.32.0-1_3.32.0-1ubuntu1~xrandrscaling3.diff.gz The ppa also includes a bugfix and a settings change to allow easy configuration. Note that the feature is behind an experimental gsettings key and the code has no impact on the rendering for users who don't enable it, which means it shouldn't be too risk. It's available as a opt-in for those who want to test it. >From our testing it works fine and we feel like it's ready to be included. We >do plan to get that work merged upstream in the next cycle so it should be an >Ubuntu delta to carry over forever. ** Affects: gnome-control-center (Ubuntu) Importance: High Status: New ** Affects: gnome-shell (Ubuntu) Importance: High Status: New ** Also affects: gnome-control-center (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Changed in: gnome-control-center (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => High -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-shell in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1820850 Title: [FFe] Distro patch GNOME hi-dpi support for x11 sessions To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-control-center/+bug/1820850/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
