Perhaps you have any idea why some apps get locked on really small fonts after enabling the option? It seems to be the only reliable way to combat screen tearing on Linux (at least Mint), so I’m hoping there’s a fix for this. nvidia-bug-report.log.gz (665 KB)
Hey Generix, thanks for the suggestion! I added these two options to the “Device” section in xorg.conf (cf. attached screenshot).
They cause the UI fonts to get even smaller. I attached two screenshots of XnConvert, one with “Force Full Composition Pipeline” disabled (normal font sizes) and one enabled while using the two options.
FWIW, I made myself a keyboard shortcut for the following command:
That way, Full Composition Pipeline is disabled by default and I only enable it by pressing the shortcut whenever I want to play a game or watch a video on YouTube.
Hello, community! I have not been able to find any other way to deal with this issue, and the tiny fonts are very tough on the eyes.
I wonder if anybody else has experienced this and found a way to force the fonts back to normal size, or if there is perhaps any other way to combat screen tearing, especially on multi-display systems?
Are you sure QT4 is involved at all? The applications you’re mentioning are using QT5 on my system, QT4 isn’t available anymore. Does it also happen if you connect only one monitor?
I just checked and yes, the issue also occurs if I only connect one screen (I have the BENQ connected over Display Post as I’m typing, the home theater surround receiver > AOC screen over HDMI is disconnected).
I am not 100% sure it’s QT4. The reason I suspect it might be is that about a year ago, I ran into this issue:
In Linux Mint’s own “Font Selection” settings app, the Default Font (not Desktop Font) was set to 9pt, while all others were at 10. The Text Scaling Factor was set to 1.1.
I set the Default Font to 10pt and the scaling factor to 1. Now, the font sizes in the affected apps seem fine whether “Force Full Composition Pipeline” is enabled or not.
