[Bug 1870736] Re: [nvidia] Screen scaling 125% gives 200%

The same (?)/similar issue using multi-monitor setup with GeForce GTX 1650 Mobile/Max-Q on a Dell XPS 15. The screen on the external monitor appears to scale up proportionally beyond the viewport when using fractional scaling, so it is more as if the screen is zooming down into a portion of the de

Honestly, the only way to get anything approaching reliable "fractional scaling" that I've found, is to lower the resolution of the smaller monitor by a ratio similar to its relative screen size.  e.g. in my case, I have two 4k monitors (one external, one a laptop monitor) where the laptop moni
