Can't change the resolution higher than 1024x764 (the monitor's resolution is supposed to be fullhd)

Just_bendy · August 19, 2025, 11:51am

Everything was working fine yesterday, but today the resolution got stuck at this 4:3 1024x764 resolution for some reason. Updated the system, nothing. Reinstalled the nvidia drivers using nvidia-inst, nothing. Tried both X11 and Wayland with no huge success. For some reason at X11 the resolution can go up to 1600x900, but still doesn’t go to the full resolution of the tv (the resolution of the tv is 1920x1080). The strangest part is that nvidia-smi works and displays everything no problemo. Didn’t really find anything useful online that could help me resolve this issue so i’m resorting to typing here. Collected both logs from X11 and Wayland so there’s at least something to work from.

Also the audio doesn’t work, there’s several High definition Audio controller pro in audio settings when there were used to be only one.
There’s High definition Audio controller pro, High definition Audio controller pro 7, High definition Audio controller pro 8 and High definition Audio controller pro 9 and none of them output audio to the tv.

Just be patient for someone to come by and help you with this. You’ve only opened this topic 3 hours ago and there’s not constantly people going to be active on the forum to reply because the forums aren’t a 24h Servicedesk but people who volunteer to help others in the community.

For the resolution problem check if in one of the files under /etc/dracut.d has the nvidia modules mentioned. One of the files should contain something like this.

force_drivers+=" nvidia nvidia_modeset nvidia_uvm nvidia_drm "

If it doesn’t have that add and then depending on what bootloader you use run one of these:

systemd-boot: sudo reinstall-kernels

grub: sudo dracut-rebuild
