Hello,
quick heads-up: im fairly new to linux when it comes to using desktop-environments outside of vms, this is my first time using linux as a main os.
To get straight to the point, i did a fresh install of manjaro using the proprietary boot option, this worked flawless. Im trying to upscale my monitors to a higher resolution than they actually are - kinda like nvidia’s dsr feature for windows.
I do that with nvidia-settings by toggling the advanced options and setting “ViewPortIn” to 2560x1440, hitting enter & applying. I also saved the settings to the x config file in “/etc/X11/mhwd.d/nvidia.conf”. I then tell mwhd to set the config for xorg to nvidia.conf by running “sudo mhwd-gpu --setmod nvidia --setxorg /etc/X11/mhwd.d/nvidia.conf” - at least im guessing thats what it does lol - which also executes without issues
now to the actual issue:
when i reboot my pc, the configuration gets applied successfully in the login screen, all 3 monitors are 1440p, however, as soon as i log in, the configuration gets reset and my 1080p monitors end up with their physical max res (1080p).
Does anyone know what that happens and if i may have forgot something, my guess is that xorg somehow loads another user config of some sort, after i logged in and that causes the reset.
I’ve tried looking it up already, but all i could find is people telling other people to add “nvidia-settings -l” to my .xinitrc config, which i already have (as seen below).
I also tried setting it using xrandr
xrandr --rate 75 --output DP-2 --auto --scale-from 2560x1440 --left-of DP-4 --panning 2560x1440
which sets the monitor to 1440p, but at a scuffed position, i can see half of my main monitor on that monitor too. (DP-2 = left screen | DP-4 = center screen)
Any help is appreciated, thank you…
