Thanks! But I’d like to know whether this does not work automatically in EndeavourOS, as I said, it works in Kubuntu: xrandr finds all the resolutions… So I’d like to understand why.

The differences I found up to now are with `inxi -G`.

This is EndeavourOS:

```auto
Graphics:
  Device-1: Intel TigerLake-LP GT2 [Iris Xe Graphics] driver: i915 v: kernel
  Device-2: Realtek LG Camera type: USB driver: uvcvideo
  Display: x11 server: X.Org 1.21.1.3 driver: loaded: intel
    unloaded: modesetting resolution: 2560x1600~60Hz
  OpenGL: renderer: Mesa Intel Xe Graphics (TGL GT2) v: 4.6 Mesa 21.3.4

```

while this is Kubuntu:

```auto
Graphics: Device-1: Intel TigerLake-LP GT2 [Iris Xe Graphics] driver: i915 v: kernel 
           Device-2: Realtek LG Camera type: USB driver: uvcvideo 
           Display: x11 server: X.Org 1.20.13 driver: loaded: modesetting unloaded: fbdev,vesa 
           resolution: 2560x1600~60Hz 
           OpenGL: renderer: Mesa Intel Xe Graphics (TGL GT2) v: 4.6 Mesa 21.2.2 

```

besides the different [X.Org](http://X.Org) version, I see that Kubuntu has `driver: loaded: modesetting`, while EndeavourOS has `driver: loaded: intel unloaded: modesetting`. So is this a driver problem? Maybe that’s related to this [Troubles with screenshots - #3 by lorebett](https://forum.endeavouros.com/t/troubles-with-screenshots/20478/3) that is `xf86-video-intel`? Is there a way to force `modesetting` instead of `intel`?

Thanks again in advance
