I've tried this from pop!_os 20.04, nVidia 2060 super GTX, 4k monitor. Starting off in 100% scaling, I select 125% scaling. Before enabling proposed, this resulted in the screen switching off.
Since enabling proposed and installing the updated packages, this now doesn't switch the screen off, but the behaviour is still not correct. I believe I'm now experiencing https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mutter/+bug/1875285 and https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mutter/+bug/1825593 (the latter of which is marked as fixed). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to mutter in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1873403 Title: [nvidia] Screen turns off when trying to set some fractional scaling values Status in mutter package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in nvidia-graphics-drivers package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in mutter source package in Focal: Fix Committed Status in nvidia-graphics-drivers source package in Focal: Confirmed Bug description: [ Impact ] When the nvidia driver is installed, the screen turns off when trying to set some fractional scaling values like 150%.
