Hi!

Upgraded from F38 and trying to get 150% scaling as 100% is too small and 200% too big. Both

gsettings reset org.gnome.mutter experimental-features

or 
gsettings set org.gnome.mutter experimental-features "['scale-monitor-framebuffer']"

and logging out do nothing.

It used to work a few years ago. Any idea how to fix this?

I'm still on F38, so not sure how F39 works, but if it is the same as F38, in the gnome system settings for setting up the scaling there is a fractional scaling option, which if set allows you to set scaling 150%.
I don't use Gnome though, I use KDE, where you can set the 150% scaling without having to activate any other option.

Thank you.

Actually it was under F38. I thought the upgrade was completed but I was wrong. Now that the update is completed I am having the same issue.

And I followed your tips but couldn' t find any area in GNOME settings with any related option. I'm probably going to burn a USB stick with the live ISO and see if that works out of the box. As I mentioned previously this feature has worked on this machine for many years.

Thank you for the heads up, at least I feel no so lonely anymore ;-)

Tried from the 'live CD' and it worked. So I guess I got something broken under F38, not fixed by upgrading and therefore I'll do a fresh install.

Thank you.

    Hi Fred,
        A fresh install may not make any difference. With my 4K monitor
    a fresh install of F38 did not activate 150% scaling in the display
    settings, I had to use the slider to turn on fractional scaling to
    be able select 150% scaling from the scaling drop down. Without
    using the slider 150% scaling did not appear in the scaling
    dropdown.
    
    regards,
    Steve
