I have a BenQ EL2870U monitor on my F39 system. The last time I looked at Wayland in KDE or Gnome it refused to scale the monitor to 4K, whereas X11 would do so quite happily. If X11 support is being dropped in F40, is the issue with Wayland not allowing 4K resolution on a 4K monitor being rectified before they do so, or has it been rectified already?
I have a Dell 4k monitor that works in 4k under kde plasma wayland on f39 and f40.
What gpu do you have? What drivers are you using? If your monitor has bad EDID then linux will have provlems. You may see errors in dmesg about this.
Thanks Barry. I just tried Wayland on KDE plasma and it does set the resolution to 4K, but it has its scaling of the taskbar horribly wrong. Having scaled the display to 150% so that things can be read, in the system tray, before the twistie to show hidden icons, I have 6 icons displayed (wifi, audio, bluetooth etc) which X11 shows as a single row of 6 and the taskbar sized accordingly. In Wayland those 6 system tray icons are displayed as 2 rows of 3, with the taskbar scaled to double the height of what it is under X11, this then scales all the throbber and pinned application icons to double size as well as the system date and time and the desktop peek icons.
