[Bug 1870736] Re: [nvidia] Screen scaling 125% gives 200%
I tried the PPA suggested in post 122 (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-control- center/+bug/1870736/comments/122) last night. No luck I'm running Pop OS 20.04 and the displays control panel does not even have fractional scaling buttons to try. I just have choices for "100% 200% 300% 400%" So it is possible the fix from 122 might work if I had the GUI options to try. Apparently out of sheer coincidence, my updates showed a new "Nvidia 450" driver available. Applied the update and rebooted but I still do not see a settings option for fractional scaling. I know this is not a Pop OS support ticket but is anyone aware of another mechanism to attempt fractional scaling? I am going to ask the same on Pop OS support. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to mutter in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1870736 Title: [nvidia] Screen scaling 125% gives 200% To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-control-center/+bug/1870736/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 1870736] Re: [nvidia] Screen scaling 125% gives 200%
@Brian Neltner The point of my question is to plan I don't care about shame, I just care if I should donate to a developer, wait another day, petition Nvidia, or wipe the linux partition because it is pointless. I am certainly willing to be patient, just looking to somehow quantify the difference between patience and hopelessness and maybe figure out how to help move the ball forward.

[Bug 1870736] Re: [nvidia] Screen scaling 125% gives 200%
I do not wish to sound ungrateful or entitled but this bug is literally the one show stopper that is preventing me from doing more work in Linux. I run a triple monitor setup and per monitor fractional scaling is a non-negotiable must for my work. Can someone explain the root of the problem? Is it poor driver support on Linux? Is it the desktop environment lacks mature support for this feature? Is it just very technically difficult and nobody has the time to handle all the possible combinations? Every day I sadly hold the space bar to bring up the boot menu to select Windows Boot Manager. Where is the limitation that prevents a solution here? What can be done to facilitate a fix?
