I built it locally but we didn't have it in a ppa. I uploaded now but the 
builders have long queue due to the ongoing archive rebuild

Robert wrote the patch/tested it and I've given it a round of testing as
well now

Correct. The patch is really minor, you can see it there
https://launchpadlibrarian.net/471901518/gnome-control-center_1%3A3.36.1-1ubuntu1_1%3A3.36.1-1ubuntu2~build1.diff.gz

The is no backend change, the feature is available as a gsetting key for
some cycle which has been documented/shared on websites, discourse, etc.
The change there is just to add a switch in the settings to change the
gsettings key value, avoid having to find the document/use the command
line to do the job

Title:
  [FFe] Add method to enable fractional scaling

Status in gnome-control-center package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged
Status in gnome-control-center source package in Focal:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  [Impact]
  Fractional scaling is currently requires enabling an experimental feature in 
Mutter to use it. We would like this feature to be easily enabled by users. A 
lot of modern hardware supports high DPI displays and these are often not 
usable without some form of fractional scaling.

  [Test Case]
  1. Open Settings
  2. Select Displays panels

  Expected result:
  Scale can be set to fractional values (e.g. 125%). There is a UI control to 
enable fractional scaling (disabled by default).

  Observed result:
  Scale can only be set to multiples of 100% unless the feature was enabled. No 
UI control is shown for Fractional scaling.

  [Regressional Potential]
  New UI code risks introducing new bugs. Users enabling fractional scaling may 
trigger new bugs.
