@darkdragon-001 by way of an update, I re-tried this on 24.04 (development) as of this date, using Gnome 45.3, on Wayland.... and it worked.
It's quite uncanny to see 2400x1600 rendered on a 2160x1440 screen, but it worked.... with the exception of a couple of apps that were blew up spectacularly, including OBS, and Slack... otherwise... everything else worked fine, and at the scaling factor above (90%), things seemed quite usable... it looked a little like an old CRT that was being pushed a little hard, but for certain applications this could be awesome. I wish the UI in gnome would offer the ability to be more granular than just 25% increments, and also go below 100%, perhaps with a warning, or from within Gnome Tweaks. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-control-center in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1724037 Title: Allow GNOME fractional scaling below 100% Status in Mutter: New Status in gnome-control-center package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in mutter package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Bug description: It should be possible to scale down the whole shell to less than 100% e.g. 90% 85% etc. thanks ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 17.10 Package: gnome-shell 3.26.1-0ubuntu3 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 4.13.0-16.19-generic 4.13.4 Uname: Linux 4.13.0-16-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.20.7-0ubuntu3 Architecture: amd64 CurrentDesktop: ubuntu:GNOME Date: Mon Oct 16 20:14:43 2017 DisplayManager: gdm3 GsettingsChanges: b'org.gnome.shell' b'favorite-apps' b"['org.gnome.Nautilus.desktop', 'firefox.desktop']" b'org.gnome.desktop.interface' b'gtk-im-module' b"'gtk-im-context-simple'" InstallationDate: Installed on 2017-10-16 (0 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 17.10 "Artful Aardvark" - Beta amd64 (20171012) ProcEnviron: TERM=xterm-256color PATH=(custom, no user) XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=<set> LANG=it_IT.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/bash SourcePackage: gnome-shell UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/mutter/+bug/1724037/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
