I had to, for instance, symlink Xwayland to /usr/local to make things not crash, though, so I don't know how much of the still-bad behavior I saw was due to things like that. Anyhow, it appears that the patch setting info.scale does make GTK wayland programs scale correctly, so this is probably the fix. Some stuff wasn't properly scaled. For instance, firefox tab text was tiny. However, that's an X app, so my janky setup could have caused that problem. gnome-shell was also rendering things too small, which is odd, because it's actually the one thing that is appropriately scaled when gnome wayland things are over-scaled. However, I think even the gnome-shell behavior might be due to library/other mismatches. Back before symlinking Xwayland, I could only get X to run with the source mutter, and it would draw everything unscaled for a while, then fix the scaling, and then crash. And after symlinking, the wayland session crashed eventually. So even though I didn't see any scaling improvements, it's possible that the same delay was happening, and it's due to the weird system state. Anyhow, this looks like the right fix for the immediate issue. I'll see if I can get a patched mutter installed in a more reliable way to verify things better. Oh, I also attached the gtk3-demo output above. That was run under the over-scaled setup.</pre> </div> <hr> You are receiving this mail because: <ul> <li>You are on the CC list for the bug.</li> </ul> </body> </html>
