I have a 2560*1440 monitor, and want to play a game at 1920*1080 or lower, with the image being centered on the monitor (at native 1:1 pixel). However, it is always stretched to full screen and things get ugly on wrong resolution. On Windows, it is very easy to change that setting in Radeon or Nvidia driver control panel. I cannot find the same place to do that on Ubuntu Cuttlefish.

What I need is something equivalent to No scaling option. Image for illustration purpose. I am using Radeon card with Mesa driver, however.

Maybe with Xrandr, but not sure. Never heard of such option. I always use the native resolution anywhere. – Apr 26 '19 at 13:00
@GabrielaGarcia For most situations it is fine with native resolution. But maybe you have not played any RTS or MOBA game on a 27" monitor. It is too large to manage, and will increase your reaction time. That's why a smaller, centered screen is better. – Livy Apr 26 '19 at 13:25
ATM I only play Civilization 6 in a 32" 1080P TV :) – Apr 26 '19 at 17:25

Does this answer your question? Changing to a lower screen resolution without stretching – BeastOfCaerbannog Feb 10 '21 at 07:36
