Comment 132 for bug 1870736

I tried the new ppa package. I could at least change the value of the fractional to 175% and 125% without crashing the system. Previously, my system would just go black screen and I had to login using text and remove all gnome settings manually (cd ~ && rm -rf .gnome .gnome2 .gconf .gconfd .metacity .cache .dbus .dmrc .mission-control .thumbnails ~/.config/dconf/user ~.compiz*) - might be useful to someone who gets into the same situation.

I am attaching the journal ctl log. Currently I am at 175% scaling and will use it and see if other things are problematic. I still think that on high resolution displays with nvidia (laptops), the UI needs testing and change. The ratio of the text size vs icon size etc need tweaking for better defaults.
