description |
On my laptop's 15.6 inch, 3840 x 2160 pixel display, the available scaling options in the Gnome 3.30.1 (Cosmic) display settings are limited to 100, 200, 300, and 400%. This is insufficient as 200% is too small and 300% is too large. The missing fractional scaling options are dealt with in bug #1687246. However, the currently available experimental feature to enable fractional scaling (provided in the bug description of #1687246) does not solve the problem on my machine:
gsettings set org.gnome.mutter experimental-features "['scale-monitor-framebuffer']"
After applying and rebooting, the options offered change to 125, 150, 175, and 200%. Note that there is no value larger then 200% which is too small on this display at least for me.
In addition, the 25% steps enabled by the experimental option seem too far apart. With 200%, I am using a font scaling value in Gnome Tweaks of 1.20, so I suppose a fractional scaling of approx 240% would be equivalent.
In bug #1687246, Daniel van Vugt (vanvugt) therefore advised to open a new bug for gnome-control-center and added that "gnome-control-center seems to limit the scale to 200% on some machines, 300% on others. And I think I have seen 400% offered in some cases. I don't know why, but the inconsistency is definitely annoying."

description |
On my laptop's 15.6 inch, 3840 x 2160 pixel (282 PPI) display, the available scaling options in the gnome-control-center (version: 1:3.30.0-0ubuntu1, on Cosmic) display settings are limited to 100, 200, 300, and 400%. This is insufficient as 200% is too small and 300% is too large. The missing fractional scaling options are dealt with in bug #1687246. However, the currently available experimental feature to enable fractional scaling (provided in the bug description of #1687246) does not solve the problem on my machine:
gsettings set org.gnome.mutter experimental-features "['scale-monitor-framebuffer']"
After applying and rebooting, the options offered change to 100, 125, 150, 175, and 200%. Note that there is no value larger than 200% which is too small on this display at least for me.
In addition, the 25% steps enabled by the experimental option seem too far apart. With 200%, I am using a font scaling value in Gnome Tweaks of 1.20, so I suppose a fractional scaling of approx 240% would be equivalent.
In bug #1687246, Daniel van Vugt (vanvugt) advised to open a new bug for gnome-control-center and added that "gnome-control-center seems to limit the scale to 200% on some machines, 300% on others. And I think I have seen 400% offered in some cases. I don't know why, but the inconsistency is definitely annoying."

[ Test case ]
In a setup with a display with HighDPi resolution (higher than 2880x1800)
- Open gnome-control-center display panel
- Scaling should show 5 level buttons to select
- Selecting higher values will show all the selectable values closer to the chosen one
- Any value could be used from 100% up to 400% (maximum varies on resolution)
[ Regression potential ]
Control center won't show any scaling value, or scaling value may be wrong.
