- pacoverdi 7y agoI've tried it (ubuntu 19.10 / Xorg / Dell Latitude 5491 + 4K Samsung monitor) and it is useless: - the scaling applies to BOTH monitors - even the 125% mode looks ridiculously big (like 200%) I was not able to enable Wayland on my system so don't know if it is better :/
- jonny383 7y agoI run 125% and I agree it does look closer to 150% over 125% on Xorg. On wayland, 125 is definitely 125.

- Shorel 7y agoI agree with other posters that Fractional Scaling in 19.04 is useless. It is useless in particular if you want to have one (bigger) monitor at 100% and the laptop monitor at 125%, a configuration that works particularly well in Windows. But my argument is that FS is not hardware accelerated, it overheats the laptop and even then makes everything run extremely slowly. You can't watch a Youtube video in any of the screens, it becomes a PowerPoint slideshow.
