Optimize Pop with external monitor? (lemm.ee)

submitted 10 months ago by [email protected] to c/pop_os

5 comments fedilink hide all child comments

my laptop resolution is 2256x1504, while my monitor has standard 1920x1080. when I start Pop is always default 200% scale, even I changed it to 100% before. I have to manually set it to 100% scale on my laptop and monitor. But it would not sustain. When I unplug hdmi and reconnect, everything goes back to default. Is there any ways I can optimize this? thank you

I was able to set different scales for laptop screen and monitor after enabling Wayland and these settings stay the same.

To do that you need to:

set WaylandEnable=true in /etc/gdm3/custom.conf
reboot
at the log in screen, there is a small gear wheel on the bottom right side, choose "Pop on Wayland" instead of "Pop"

I think some people have issues with Nvidia cards, but I don't have one and haven't had any issues.
