Curious how fractional scaling relates to usage of Gdk: the output of
Gdk.Display.get_default().get_primary_monitor().get_scale_factor()
…is of type int, which seems not to go with fractional scaling.
First thanks to @3v1n0 for making this possible in X11.
I’m trying to move away from MacOS for Web Development to Pop!_OS but I have a multimonitor setup with an old 27" Asus PB278Q that supports natively a WQHD (2560x1440) resolution and a newer 27’’ LG 27UD58-B that supports natively a 4K resolution of 3840x2160.
I tried using Wayland with fractional scaling but as mentioned by @plumerlis Firefox, Chrome & Pycharm look blurred in the 4K monitor when I choose anything different to 100% (too small) or 200% (too big).
Then I went back to the default setting in Pop!_OS 19.04 that’s X11 and enabled fractional scaling with the switch described in this post, that worked much better with no blurring.
To match both monitors to they have a similar scaling I need to set my primary monitor (27’’ LG 27UD58-B) to 150% that combined with a text-scaling-factor=1.25 worked really well but in the second monitor although it’s not scaled I only can see something like 2/3 of the desktop the rest is black.
I’m really clueless on how to fix this and this seems to be the only configuration that can work well, Firefox, Chrome & Pycharm are looking awesomely sharp, so I would like to keep it as it is but will the second monitor showing over the whole display extension.
This is how is looks like:

Did you manage to fix this?
The same problem started happening to me this week on ubuntu 19.04.
I created an issue for gnome: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/issues/1897
Apparently, this is an ubuntu issue. I’ve opened one here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell/+bug/1852864
