Public bug reported: I have plugged in my Dell precision 5530 laptop a 4k HDMI screen. Using it with 200% zoom makes xorg crash. I have used proprietary 430, and changed to recommended proprietary 435 nvidia driver. As the system was still very unstable (no to say unusable) I had a go with 440 from ppa. I also ensured that my system was up to date doing a sudo apt-get update and upgrade. I was suprised to discover a few packages that needed an upgrade although I had previously used the Software Updater tool. Maybe I was doing something wrong. Anyway, with these updates and the newer 440 driver, I have successfully worked a day (sparsely) without problem, and using only 100% zoom. As a test, I decided to try to set the zoom to 200% (through devices > display, and I have only the external display enabled). After several minutes, I clicked on the « full screen » icon to maximize a shell, and the PC froze. It was so close to my change in the zoom ratio, that I suspect this is related.
