I just updated using “Yay” and then after I rebooted my desktop and then I find my display’s screen and fonts messed up, with the resolution stuck at 4:3.
Can you share inxi -Ga

It looks like you have no display driver at all.
I would bet that you updated to nvidia-open version 590. With the 590.x drivers, NVIDIA dropped support for your Maxwell(9xx) and Pascal(10xx) cards.. You need to install the 580xx drivers from AUR or switch to nouveau
I got this upon trying to install 580xx-dkms “:: nvidia-580xx-utils-580.119.02-2 and nvidia-utils-590.48.01-1 are in confl
ict (nvidia-libgl). Remove nvidia-utils? [y/N] y
:: nvidia-580xx-dkms-580.119.02-2 and nvidia-open-590.48.01-4 are in conflic
t (NVIDIA-MODULE). Remove nvidia-open? [y/N] y
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: removing nvidia-utils breaks dependency ‘nvidia-utils=590.48.01’ required
by lib32-nvidia-utils
==> WARNING: Failed to install built package(s).”
Try this:
sudo pacman -Rdd nvidia-settings nvidia-utils nvidia-open
yay -S nvidia-580xx-settings libxnvctrl-580xx lib32-opencl-nvidia-580xx lib32-nvidia-580xx-utils opencl-nvidia-580xx nvidia-580xx-utils nvidia-580xx-dkms
I actually got it working
