My display always turns black when I attempt to change the resolution from the default (2560 x 1440). My current “solution” was to launch a tty and remove ~/.local/share/kscreen
, and everything boots back normal.
However, I want to play games on this system, and many games force resolution changes, so I need to find a way to actually change my screen resolution.
I’ll post the contents of the broken kscreen
if needed. But to my observation the only thing changed was the height
and width
keys so I don’t think that’s the root cause of the problem.
The following output was grabbed when I rebooted and the display was working. I’m using X11. My distro is openSUSE Tumbleweed, plasma 5.27.6.
$ kscreen-doctor -i -o
