Settings - Display: wrong resolution selected

Open tuananh opened this issue 11 months ago • 13 comments

My monitor resolution is 5120x1440 and it shows that resolution (5120x1440) is selected. But it feels like it's 3840x1080.

when i tried to select 3840x1080, it automatically select 5120x1440 back.

I'm not sure how I can provide more information on this.

I install cosmic from 22.04. Not sure if that make any difference.

tuananh avatar Mar 19 '24 08:03 tuananh

I would be very confused, if actually runs at a lower resolution, but lets see.

First could you run cosmic-randr and see, if that also reports 5120x1440? If it does, could you run drm_info please (you might need to install that) from a terminal in cosmic and post the output?

cosmic-randr indeed reported that it's using the lower resolution

cosmic-randr list

    1920x1080 @  59.939 Hz
    1680x1050 @  59.954 Hz

I change it with the command line and it works now

cosmic-randr mode DP-1 5120 1440

but in cosmic settings, it's now showing the lower resolution as selected.

I'm guessing its sth to do with the index when displaying?

summary:

  • settings show 5120x1440 but it's indeed 3840x1080.
  • changing with cosmic-randr to 5120x1440 and settings is now showing 3840x1080

I'm guessing its sth to do with the index when displaying?

Not unlikely, it might be thrown of by the order of the resolutions reported, with the one being reported first and preferred by the display, not being the one with the maximum size.

Definitely a cosmic-settings bug then, cc @mmstick

Drakulix avatar Mar 19 '24 10:03 Drakulix

Is this still an issue?

mmstick avatar May 28 '24 15:05 mmstick

Not sure if it's the same issue, but I just encountered similar. I have a laptop in clamshell with a 5120x2160 monitor connected. After making some changes, I was unable to return to full resolution. Approximate reproduction steps:

  1. With display settings open (5120x2160 @ 125% @ 72hz selected)
  2. Change scaling to 100% AR/ER: scaling adjusts immediately and prompt to confirm seting
  3. Change scaling back to 125% AR/ER: scaling adjusts immediately and prompt to confirm seting
  4. Change resolution to 3440x1440 (or some lower resolution) AR/ER: monitor takes a moment to output display, prompt to confirm setting
  5. Change resolution back to 5120x2160 ER: monitor takes a moment to output display, prompt to confirm setting AR: no change, immediately prompted to confirm settings
  6. Change resolution to 1920x1080 AR/ER: monitor takes a moment to output display, prompt to confirm setting
  7. Change resolution back to 5120x2160 ER: monitor takes a moment to output display, prompt to confirm setting AR: no change, immediately prompted to confirm settings

@mmstick I think it is still a valid issue I have the same problem (though my resolution is 5120x1440) and that is the preferred resolution in randr but when I select it in display settings nothing happens (I attached a recording).

my system is a Thelio Mira (intel) everything is standard except the graphics card which I added:

@DW8Reaper Do you have logs from cosmic-settings? It should display the cosmic-randr command it is running.

mmstick avatar Aug 20 '24 14:08 mmstick

How do I specifically get cosmic-settings logs or is it just journalctl filtered to cosmic-settings output?

DW8Reaper avatar Aug 20 '24 15:08 DW8Reaper

env RUST_LOG=debug cosmic-settings

DW8Reaper avatar Aug 20 '24 15:08 DW8Reaper

I just ran cosmic-randr mode DP-3 5120 1440 directly and it give that configuration failed error. Then I tried cosmic-randr mode DP-3 5120 1440 --test and it sort-of messed up my desktop so I Crtl+Alt+F3 to a TTY then switched back with Ctrl+Alt+F2 and now my resolution is 5120x1140 so a happy accident.

If I switch to 3840x1080 I'm back to the orignal problem where I cannot switch. Once I have set that resolution with the --test trick then I can change my refresh rate in cosmic settings but as soon as I mess with resolution again I cannot switch here is the log:

That led me to try run cosmic-randr mode DP-3 5120 1440 --refresh "119.999" and that works so it looks like as long as I pass an explicit refresh rate then cosmic-randr works from the terminal

DW8Reaper avatar Aug 20 '24 15:08 DW8Reaper

Then I'll make a change to always define the refresh rate when setting a resolution.
