Since the arrival of kernel 6.16, when I am connected to my base with my 2
screens, everything works well.
However, when my laptop is alone, I have extremely surprising zoom levels.
Thus, Thunderbird presents the list of folders and emails as if I had set a 50%
(or even less) factor, which makes them almost unreadable, and the other
applications seem, on the contrary, slightly de-zoomed.
If I reconnect my laptop to the base, everything goes back to "normal".
At first, I still had a 6.12 kernel and when I booted on that one, I had no
problem.
Now, I only have 2 versions of 6.16 and therefore no possibility (unless I
reinstall an old kernel) to have a "correct" display without the docking
station.
If I switch to xorg when opening my session, everything is almost normal.
