I am running a laptop and second display setup:

Laptop: Dell inspiron 16 plus (3072 x 1920) Display: AOC (2560 x 1440)

This setup was running fine until a couple days ago. Suddenly the display settings where different and changing them currently has not the desired effect. When I change the scaling of my laptop screen in the setting, both my laptop screen and second display are scaled (with the same factor) and visa versa. The odd thing is however that the changes are displayed in the settings menu, but not actually visible on the displays. I would like to scale my laptop to 200% and my display to 100%, can somebody help me?

I already did some research online, but all the solution I found where not working for me.

I had this issue to after a restart.

I "solved" this by (in Settings > Display)

  • enabling Fractional Scaling
  • on primary display use Scale: 175% (*)
  • on secondary display use Scale: 100%

(*) Side note:
As I have high-resolution on primary display, I used to have 200%, but that caused mouse flickering on primary display. See this answer for reference.

I had the same issue, but in my case am running ubuntu 22.04 on dell precision with the primary display having a 4K resolution of (3840 * 2160) and the secondary display of (1920 * 1080), to solve this issue i scaled-down my primary display to match that of the secondary display both at (1920 * 1080)...enter image description here
