I’m a new Manjaro user and installed it with the nvidia drivers, which detected everything. I have a Lenovo Y50 gaming laptop which has a Nvidia GeForce GTX 860. The problem I am having is that I can’t change the resolution, which currently is 3840x2160, making the laptop pretty unusable. When I tried to change it via System Settings > Display Configuration, any change will be ignored, even though I have plenty of options. So I tried xrandr:
xrandr --verbose

Running xrandr --output eDP-1 --mode 1920x1080 --verbose the screen gets dark for a moment and then goes back to the same resolution. The output is:
crtc 0: disable
screen 0: 1920x1080 507x285 mm 96.08dpi
crtc 0: 1920x1080 59.96 +0+0 "eDP-1"

If I try to change it directly with xrandr -s 1920x1080 the screen goes black and doesn’t get back anymore. Does anyone know how I can fix this? Thank you!
