Created attachment 109730 [details] edid.bin for Sharp LQ156D1JW04 On KDE4 It was possible to switch to 1080p or 720p, both resolutions important for games, because the iGPU can't handle 4k with sufficient frame rate. On Plasma5 the mode list is filled with 4:3 resulutions like 1920x1440. Selecting a resulition like 1080p in a game like sauerbraten results in a big black border (left and right black from the 4:3 mode, top and bottom to convert 4:3 back to 16:9) The edid file contains only the native 4k resolutions.
Thanks for the report! Could you please run xrandr -q (assuming you're running X11, not Wayland) on this system and post the output here? This helps us to identify where the problem may lie.

Thanks for the quick reply! I suppose the old snapshot also contains a different Xorg version or different (version) of the graphics driver? In any case, your Xorg doesn't provide these modes anymore. The reasons for this can be manifold, but you can probably get them back by adding a modeline. Plasma just reads whatever information xrandr provides, so as soon as you get back the missing modes into xrandr, it'll also work with Plasma. I'll mark this as an upstream problem, since we can't fix this in Plasma or KScreen, not because it's not an actual issue, but because it needs to be handled outside of Plasma's codebase.
