Fractional scaling help?
Fractional scaling help?
Im on a Dell G5 15 laptop with a 1660ti. I set my built in monitor to 125%, and that looks fine, but for some reason my second monitor seems to be zoomed in a bunch, even though that is still at 100% I kinda need my laptop screen zoomed in since its so small, any advice? Pop!_OS LTS, dont remember version, but says "most recent"
Do you have the proprietary Nvidia drivers installed?
Maybe also try different settings, like 150 instead of 125%, etc.
yes i do. and everything breaks it. even without fractional scaling
Is there any reason for you to use the LTS version of Pop?
I mean, recommending someone to jump from one to another distro because one thing doesn't work is bad advice, but if you don't have any compelling reasons to use the very
outdatedstale version, I'd recommend switching to either the normal non-LTS version, or to another distro all together.If you decide for the latter, maybe consider Bazzite (for gaming) or uBlue. They both have a Nvidia -variant with the drivers already baked in.
Those drivers are known to break or be unreliable, so you always have the certainty that everything will work on this immutable system.
They both are very modern, offering the newest desktop versions, and should provide you a great monitor setup due to the new display protocol.
