RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

.Fractional scaling available for GNOME Shell on Wayland On a *GNOME Shell on Wayland* session, the fractional scaling feature is available. The feature makes it possible to scale the GUI by fractions, which improves the appearance of scaled GUI on certain displays. Note that the feature is currently considered experimental and is, therefore, disabled by default. To enable fractional scaling, run the following command: # gsettings set org.gnome.mutter experimental-features "['scale-monitor-framebuffer']"

Description Florian Müllner 2019-01-23 19:47:11 UTC
Description of problem:

The component was already rebased to the 8.0 GNOME version in RHEL 7. But as RHEL 8 was branched off from the corresponding Fedora version rather than the last RHEL branch, all downstream patches went missing.

As the upstream version hasn't changed since the last RHEL 7 release, fortunately all patches are ready to be re-applied again.

Comment 9 Jonas Ådahl 2019-02-21 14:14:23 UTC
As of 3.28.3-18 the patch 0001-wayland-enable-scale-monitor-framebuffer-by-default.patch was removed, as it was added by accident.

To get back the experimental feature enabling fractional scaling, as was enabled in 7.6 (on Wayland only, thus not in the default configuration), one have to run the following command:

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