I installed this package on Manjaro, but no fractional scaling option shows up. After running gsettings set org.gnome.mutter experimental-features "['x11-randr-fractional-scaling']"

Nothing happens, and the settings look like before, any ideas?

If you're not trying this in a VM and have rebooted since the installation, check your dmesg and journal logs as this should simply work by enabling it via gsettings. You could also try if enabling fractional scaling on a Wayland session does work, to rule out hardware limitations. gsettings set org.gnome.mutter experimental-features "['scale-monitor-framebuffer']"

What should i look for in theese logs? It shouldn't be hardware limitations, since I have tested my hardware on an Ubuntu live USB, where fractional scaling worked.

I reinstalled, and the scaling options show up now, however, I cannot actually change to different scaling options (possibly hardware limitations), even though they show up:

I also tried to use gnome-control-center-x11-scaling from AUR (which I know is not supported any more, I just wanted to test it) which actually allowed me to use different scaling options.

我重新安装了,现在显示了缩放选项,但是,我实际上无法更改为不同的缩放选项(可能是硬件限制),即使它们出现了:

我还尝试使用AUR 中的 gnome-control-center-x11-scaling(我知道它不再受支持,我只是想测试一下),这实际上允许我使用不同的缩放选项。

I got the same problem, and I have two display screen join.When I only use my build-in display, it works well. I want to know did you fix it.

I could not fix it unfortunately, i currently just change the text scaling factor and leave UI scaling to 100%, but it's a less than ideal solution.

With GNOME 43 the gnome-control-center-x11-scaling package is back, which should solve this issue.
