Max resolution low on arch linux

Framework Laptop 16 Linux
1

Hey all,

Recently made the move to arch linux. Was trying to get steam setup and discovered that it wasn’t using my DGPU when it booted games. Managed to fix this by putting DRI_PRIME=1 into the command line args when a game boots. However, I cant increase the resolution beyond 1600 setting in a games settings. There is no resolution option beyond that one. I have ran xandr and it is missing any resolution options beyond 1600X1000. I have tried adding a 2560 option via xrandr but even when the added option shows up in xrandr it doesn’t show up in the games resolution selection options,

Anyone have any idea how I can the resolution mode properly so it can be used by games?

Huh, how are you using xranrd and hyperland? If it’s running through xwayland the 1600x1000 may be the size of the window or something.

Forgive me I am a total Linux noob and I am just starting out. So xwayland is what I should be using to fix this issue? I’m guessing xrandr just comes out of the box and that’s where I have gotten confused?

xrandr is for x, hyperland (which you are apparently running) is using wayland instead so if xrandr is going to do anything at all it’s interacting with a compatibility layer.

Take a look at the hyprland wiki, Monitors – Hyprland Wiki Hyprland uses manual config files, you probably need to manually set your resolution/refresh rate.
