Fractional scaling #17

Closed arakan94 closed 2 years ago

arakan94 commented 2 years ago

I need to set 1.5x scale for one of my monitors - I used to do it with GNOME display settings but with update to GNOME 42, that seems no longer possible (the UI doesn't offer it despite 'scale-monitor-framebuffer' being set).

Your tool looked great, but sadly did not allow me to make the change:

gnome-randr modify --scale 1.5 HDMI-1
setting scale to 1.5
D-Bus error: Scale 1.5 not valid for resolution 3840x2160 (org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.InvalidArgs)
Scale 1.5 not valid for resolution 3840x2160

Can I do anything about this?

Never mind, I just got the GNOME settings way to work..

Apparently, the dconf setting (done in previous version of my distro) didn't work despite being shown in dconf-editor...

After setting it again and restarting, it works. gsettings set org.gnome.mutter experimental-features "['scale-monitor-framebuffer']"
