Command to enable fractional scaling does not activate it in the login screen - possible alternative

[JebKerman91]

As per the title, the suggested command to enable fractional scaling gsettings set org.gnome.mutter experimental-features "['scale-monitor-framebuffer']" works, but not in the login screen.

Following this the suggested way to apply the monitor configuration to the display manager in general does not work: # cp ~/.config/monitors.xml /var/lib/gdm/.config/

The suggested command at the end of this thread does however seem to do the trick and may be a useful addition to the docs: sudo -u gdm dbus-launch gsettings set org.gnome.mutter experimental-features "['scale-monitor-framebuffer']"

Interesting idea, appreciate the feedback. I'll consider this in the near future.

For now, using the existing command provides fractional scaling once logged in. But I will investigate adding the other option in the near future.

I can agree that this command is to keep in mind. I've use it, and converted it using ansible a couple years ago for the framework 11. https://gist.github.com/Vaarlion/1a71f11238ae06bc95565251204b1304#file-framework-setup-yml-L22

It haven't failed since

This is a slick looking playbook, appreciate the share. :)
