Problems with the 2020-12-30 Stable Update on i3 - video card driver related

Here is a workaround in my case: :roll_eyes:

Login with the uggly screen and execute in a terminal:

$ xrandr --output eDP1 --set "scaling mode" "Full"

Got error on the output but it works…

X Error of failed request:  BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)
  1 ··Major opcode of failed request:  140 (RANDR)
  2 ··Minor opcode of failed request:  21 (RRSetCrtcConfig)
  3 ··Serial number of failed request:  71
  4 ··Current serial number in output stream:  7
