Hello all
I have set my display resolution to 1680x1050 Display manager.

Whenever I reboot after a long session of a few days shut down the screen reverts to 3840x2400 and I have to go the whole resetting process at that very small and hardly readable resolution.

Where I set 1680x1050 as default?

Cheers F.

In the System Settings -> Hardware -> Display and Monitor -> Display Configuration, did you save the display properties for any display arrangement? Then it should not revert.
IIRC the configuration should be stored in ~/.config/kdeglobals
On the other hand, if you have trouble reading in the native resolution, why not change the scale factor? This would keep the pixel resolution optimal, but enlarge he content

Thanks Mamarok

That was set. Still reverts.

Hmm.. I cannot find anything there setting default resolution

Tried setting scale to 300% That does not help.

BTHW I am using plasma 5.21.2.

Still no solution. Can anyone point me in the right direction please?

You always have the option to set the resolution in /etc/X11/xorg.conf. The details on how to set the different options can be found in the man page you get with

Code: Select all

man xorg.conf

You will have to restart the X Server to make sure the options are enforced. This can be done simply by logging off and back in again

Thank you very much that is exactly what I was looking for and forgot....
