Incorrect Monitor Auto Resolution
Your system information
- Steam client version: 1763795278
- SteamOS version: 3.7.17
- Opted into Steam client beta?: [Yes/No]

Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:
Describe what you expected should happen and what did happen. Auto resolution to properly function, nested desktop mode to respect the set resolution.
Steps for reproducing this issue:
- On a wide monitor (in this case an LG one, 2560x1080 max 60Hz) using steamOs, boot in
- With the default of auto resolution incorrect, disable it and resolution will then let you manually select a correct option.
- Enter nested desktop, and see that it still follows the incorrect auto-resolution

for the second part of your issue, nested desktop is currently hardcoded to 800p regardless of the native panel resolution (being tracked here: https://github.com/ValveSoftware/SteamOS/issues/1820)
Tested on both DisplayPort and HDMI now after buying a DisplayPort cable, issue happens with both.
