resolution stuck at 3000x2000

hi there i am having this issue where my resolution is stuck at an abnormaly high value
output of me using xrandr
Code: [Select]
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.

Did that solve your problem?

i am currently doing that but seeing as i am using a laptop, high resolutions dont play well with battery life.
You seem to be using Microsoft Surface Book 3. From the wikipedia article and Microsoft's site, 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.
