Hi Daniel, Unsure if your response was aimed at me, but I can confirm that the behaviour is still present for me and that neither of those criteria apply to me. I'm using AMDGPU (AMD Radeon 5700XT) with three monitors attached and fractional scaling enabled.
Additional Observations ======================= * With Fractional Scaling enabled, but all three screens at 100%, display layout is restored at startup. * With Fractional Scaling enabled, but screen 3 (the 4k monitor) set at 125% or 150% scaling, the monitor layout and scaling are reset at startup. If there's any more information you need, I'm happy to help, just let me know what you need!

If I set scaling to 125, 150, or 200%, the setting is remembered and used the next time I log in. If I set scaling to 100%, however, the next time I log in the scaling switches back to 200% automatically. I only want to use fractional scaling for external monitors. [ Test case ] - Use a multi-monitor setup - Enable Fractional scaling under X11 (from display settings) - Setup mixed-DPI settings in gnome-control-center - Log-out - Log-in again + Settings should be preserved [ Regression potential ] It's not possible to set some scaling combinations any more with multiple or single monitors. - Configuration is not restored at all. [ Known issue ] Monitor settings won't be preserved disabling fractional scaling or enabling it in the wayland session. ----- Background: This is on a Dell XPS 9360 with a 1920x1080 ~168 DPI screen. Pretty standard configuration. I have my DisplaySize set to 294x165 in Xorg.conf, Xft.dpi=168, GTK font scaling factor 1.0. I have been unable to find an appropriate combination of settings where 168 DPI is respected for accurate font rendering, while at the same time not scaling up the rest of the UI to unusable proportions. Fractional scaling seems to be the only way to adjust some Gnome UI elements.
