Thanks Ed. I think I may have found a pointer to where the issue is.
Looking at xorg.0.log for Gnome with Xorg or KDE with Xorg, where the issue doesn't
occur, because there is no xorg.conf file Xorg is using a default screen definition for
which it is loading driver /usr/lib64/xorg/modules/drivers/vmware_drv.so and
/usr/lib64/xorg/modules/drivers/modesetting_drv.so, and from the modelines displayed by
the vmware driver the driver does not support the 3840x2075 resolution of the screen, so
it is setting the resolution to 800x600. If I then maximise the window Xorg then scales
the layout to 3840x2075. This happens both with Gnome and KDE, where everything works
fine. It seems to me that Wayland does not properly handle the resolution rescaling. What
I don't understand is what has changed in F31
to cause this, as there was no issue in F30.
Oh, one thing I would do is to actually confirm if wayland is in use. I'm not certain
that the VMware video
drivers support it.
So, I'd install, if not already installed, inxi and then run "inxi
-GxxSMza". The Graphics section will have a line
such as...
Display: x11 server: Fedora Project X.org 1.20.6 driver: nvidia
If wayland is in use then you'd see "wayland server".
