Comment 20 for bug 1196239

Sounds roughly like what I said in the previous comments.

I agree Mir should not be providing fake modes just to address scaling. Scaling should be done in the shell but using the real native mode of the display for maximum visual quality.

However... some shells might not scale adequately and/or some users will have strange preferences and supporting fake modes is just a nice-to-have feature for those cases. Unity8 does not fall into this category so this bug should not be considered high priority IMHO.

Just add a slider in Unity8's settings to adjust the scale, and implement it correctly :)
