Hi All,
I’m trying to install Manjaro KDE in GPD WinMax but the screen is in portrait mode & all distorted! is there a way to fix this ?

Hello,

Use a command to rotate it:
xrandr --output eDP-1 --mode 720x1280 --rotation right

You can make it a script.sh to run at startup or something.

This might help too:

To avoid spam and abuse of screenshots, all basic forum members can’t post links and screenshots, but you can make use of a service like https://postimages.org/
and post the link like this:

Thanks for the assist.

I’ll install Manjaro & let you know if I have any other issue aside from 4 screens display at once.

wanted to ask if you can help with this

If your system starts DRM early, as mine does, you'll want to have the EDID in the initramfs to get the console mode right. I did this using a hook /etc/initramfs-tools/hooks/edid, so update-initramfs -u would add the EDID file. Contents of the hook script:

#!/bin/sh

case $1 in
prereqs)
        exit 0
        ;;
esac

. /usr/share/initramfs-tools/hook-functions

copy_file EDID /lib/firmware/edid/gpdwinmax.bin
