[17:13] <ChinnoDog> nVidia drivers can be so frustrating.
[17:15] <ChinnoDog> All I want is to see the nVidia advanced settings but nvidia-settings refuses to show them to me.
[18:46] <ChinnoDog> omg. This issue is killing me. All I want is to use my 1920x1080 external monitor and it is like pulling teeth.
[18:48] <ChinnoDog> Ubuntu 19.10 doesn't support independent scaling of monitors out of box. I can enable the beta feature, but it doesn't work. I can try xrandr, but it still doesn't work. nVidia control panel refuses to show me hardware scaling settings, probably because I have a PRIME config and intel chip used for scaling. Scaling on intel is not implemented in Linux!
[18:49] <ChinnoDog> I tried setting hardware scaling using nvidia-settings, didn't work. I read Wayland handles this better. Why can't I select Wayland from login screen? Because it blacklists nVidia proprietary drivers. :-/
[18:58] <ChinnoDog> I switched to Wayland and omg it works! It is not as nice as having video port scaling but some apps will resize on the external monitor.
