hi there i am having this issue where my resolution is stuck at an abnormaly high value
output of me using xrandr
Screen 0: minimum 8 x 8, current 3000 x 2000, maximum 32767 x 32767
eDP1 connected primary 3000x2000+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 290mm x 190mm 3000x2000 59.99*+
DP1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
HDMI1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
VIRTUAL1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
as you can see i literally do not have the option to change the resolution. i did try using Wayland but it created more issues than it solved. It gave me weird resolution options and most of the time it also didnt work. as for anything else that i could've tried, i didnt do because i am basically the only one having this issue.
any help is much appreciated.

you are an absolute godsend. thank you
Did that solve your problem?
You seem to be using Microsoft Surface Book 3. From the wikipedia article (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surface_Book_3#Hardware) and Microsoft's site (https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/d/surface-book-3/8xbw9g3z71f1?activetab=pivot:techspecstab), it is designed to support the resolution of 3000x2000 at 267 pixels per inch. If it "doesn't play well with battery life", then that is its design flaw. I wouldn't recommend setting custom 3:2 ratio resolutions lower than 3000x2000, but if you feel willing to risk unlikely, since it is a lower resolution, but still possible, potential damage to your hardware, you can try.
