I am running the latest stable Manjaro with KDE 6 on Wayland. I connected a regular monitor and a Displayport Dummy Plug which creates a dummy monitor up to 4K. This all works well. The graphics card is AMD.
I now wish to set the dummy monitor to a custom resolution (2360x1640, or that ratio more or less). kscreen-doctor does not report that resolution, just regular ones that are 16:9 or 16:10.
Everything I have found so far somehow relates to KDE 5 or X. How can I achieve that? Thank you.

That only works if kscreen-doctor could already find this resolution. But I am talking about adding a custom resolution that kscreen-doctor does not yet report!
The solution is easy and can be found here: https://www.reddit.com/r/linuxhardware/comments/18wnnyk/overclocking_monitors_the_easy_way/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3
Simply add a kernel command line to grub: video=DP-1:3000x2000@70
with DP-1 being the connector to use, then resolution and frequency. Adjust as you need it.
