Display fractional scaling settings not saved on Ubuntu 24.04 with kernel 6.8

[rmasad]

Description:

After updating to Ubuntu 24.04, which includes kernel version 6.8, my display scaling settings are not saved. The system defaults to 200% scaling upon every reboot, despite setting it to 150%. This issue does not occur with kernels prior to version 6.5.

Steps to Reproduce:

• Update to Ubuntu 24.04.
• Ensure kernel version is 6.8.
• Set display scaling to 150%.
• Reboot the system.

Expected Behavior:

The display scaling setting should remain at 150% after rebooting.

Actual Behavior:

The display scaling reverts to 200% after every reboot.

Additional Information:

Reverting to kernel 6.5 resolves the issue. Any additional information or logs that could help in diagnosing the problem.

Thank you for all the effort everyone at Regolith puts in. I hope that these reports serve to improve this system that many of us love ❤️

Does reloading your configuration using mod+shift+r or mod+shift+c apply the fractional scale?
