Just catching up on the comments here.. To answer the question of what is the user requirement, I believe the answer is "I'd like everything on my screen to look bigger/smaller". The system settings for Displays will have a Scale slider (which currently is hidden until the capability exists).
Where is the bug/work item captured to implement Scaling in the shell? If this bug is a wishlist, the other surely needs to be High priority. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to xorg-server in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1196239 Title: Add support for fake modes on laptop screens which only have one Status in Canonical System Image: Triaged Status in Mir: Incomplete Status in xorg-server package in Ubuntu: Won't Fix Bug description: Reproduce: run mirout What happens: I only see one resolution supported.
