Thanks Ed. I think I may have found a pointer to where the issue is.
Looking at xorg.0.log for Gnome with Xorg or KDE with Xorg, where the issue doesn't occur, because there is no xorg.conf file Xorg is using a default screen definition for which it is loading driver /usr/lib64/xorg/modules/drivers/vmware_drv.so and /usr/lib64/xorg/modules/drivers/modesetting_drv.so, and from the modelines displayed by the vmware driver the driver does not support the 3840x2075 resolution of the screen, so it is setting the resolution to 800x600. If I then maximise the window Xorg then scales the layout to 3840x2075. This happens both with Gnome and KDE, where everything works fine. It seems to me that Wayland does not properly handle the resolution rescaling. What I don't understand is what has changed in F31 to cause this, as there was no issue in F30.
Oh, one thing I would do is to actually confirm if wayland is in use. I'm not certain that the VMware video
drivers support it.
So, I'd install, if not already installed, inxi and then run "inxi -GxxSMza". The Graphics section will have a line
such as...
Display: x11 server: Fedora Project X.org 1.20.6 driver: nvidia
If wayland is in use then you'd see "wayland server".
Thanks Ed. I installed and ran that command and it gave me the following
output:
Display: wayland server: Fedora Project X.org 1.20.6 driver: vmwgfx
The driver shown is the same driver when running Gnome on Xorg.
The command also showed me the following:
mobo: Intel model: 440BX Desktop Reference Platform
What does this info mean as my motherboard I thought was AMD and not
Intel as I'm running an AMD Ryzen cpu?
Just one further question, how do I determine the dimensions of a 'Gnome
Terminal' Window? What I have just found is that if I click and hold the
bottom right hand corner of the window and scale the window, the issue
occurs once I scale past certain dimensions, whereas if I use 'konsole'
instead of 'Gnome Terminal' it doesn't matter what dimensions I run
'Konsole' at the issue does not occur.
regards,
Steve
