[Bug 2091237] Re: The login problem is still not fixed, I'm using an ultrawide monitor 5120x1440 and ubuntu defaults the first login screen to 400%

[Daniel van Vugt]

There's your problem; the detected screen size is "1mm x 1mm". So Mutter
just chooses the maximum scaling factor to compensate.

That's clearly a software bug in the Xorg driver because decoding your
EDID from the monitor I can see the monitor is reporting itself as 120
cm x 34 cm.

So that we can find out which component to assign the bug to, please
run:

  dpkg -l > packages.txt
  journalctl -b0 > journal.txt

and attach the resulting text files here.

Bug description:
  I feel like I'm slowly going insane. I've tried the XML that has the
  default definitions with the

  <scaling-factor> 
  and 
  <text-scaling-factor> to be set 1.0 

  I've tried xrandr,

  I've browsed all over google, so many purple links I feel like I'm in
  a schizophrenic episode, and there is still no fix.

  THE FIRST TIME LOGIN is scaled to 400%

  and when I login everything is fine. I'm going insane.
