Description funkybomber 2024-02-04 11:40:29 UTC
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Install the latest KDE Neon unstable edition (Plasma 6 RC2) in QEMU
2. Log in with the Wayland session
3. Go to Display configuration and change the Resolution to 1920x1080

OBSERVED RESULT
The user gets a black screen and only the cursor appears. After a few seconds the old resolution is restored and everything is back to normal (in the old resolution).

EXPECTED RESULT
The user gets no black screen and is able to change to his preferred display resolution (the same experience as with the X11 session).

ADDITIONAL INFO:

This used to work in the previous KDE Neon unstable ISO release, hence the "regression" tag.

The X11 session is not affected by this bug.
Comment 2 Akseli Lahtinen 2024-02-07 15:04:10 UTC
Can reproduce using Virtual Machine Manager and running KDE Neon Unstable on QEMU/KVM
Comment 3 Zamundaaa 2024-02-07 15:42:33 UTC
Can confirm. There's more to this though:
- switching to a higher resolution mode works
- this only happens with legacy modesettings with atomic modesetting it works fine

I just tested this and this works now changing resolution up and down
