Secondary Monitor 1080p Resolution Issue
I'm a complete Linux beginner, transitioning from Windows for the first time, and I'm facing a very frustrating display issue with my secondary monitor.
I have a dual monitor setup. My main monitor works perfectly fine. However, my secondary monitor (connected via HDMI) is stuck at a 4:3 resolution (1024x768). In Windows, this monitor worked perfectly at 1920x1080.
I tried to fix this by:
1. Exporting the EDID (Extended Display Identification Data) from the monitor while it was working correctly in Windows.
2. After a lot of struggle and following various guides, I managed to successfully "layer" this custom EDID onto my Bazzite system using
3. This did improve the situation from 1024x768 to 1280x720 (16:9), confirming the EDID was being read.
4. However, it still remains limited to 720p, not reaching 1920x1080. My
5. I also tried various kernel arguments like
It seems the NVIDIA proprietary driver is rejecting the 1080p mode, even though the EDID says it's supported. Any help or ideas from the Bazzite/KDE/NVIDIA users here would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance.
