Hi guys
I have installed Artix linux in a laptop, but the lightDM screen resolution is bad.

How to fix, any link about it ?
Thanks in advance.

More info? Which GPU?
Try setting the output resolution manually: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Xorg#Monitor_settings

lspci -v | grep -A1 -e VGA -e 3D

Post /var/log/Xorg.0.log and see if manually setting resolution helps (https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Intel_graphics). No idea whether adding nomodeset at kernel command line helps, but no harm trying.

Open your /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf, include this line in the [Seat:*] section

Code: [Select]

display-setup-script=xrandr --output your_screen_name --mode your_screens_resolution

and restart X.

Your screen name and resolution can be found from,

Code: [Select]

$xrandr -q
