Description haz3eqdarw1sy 2025-09-14 09:36:03 UTC 
SUMMARY
So yeah, every I installed something from yay or the package manager, my resolution got changed to 1024x768 every time. I changed it back. Thought it was a firmware problem, so I updated it, then rebooted. It instead made the default resolution to this. 1024x768.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Installing something from the package manager (pacman)
2. Resolution changed to 1024x768.
3. Updated firmware, then reboot.

OBSERVED RESULT
1024x768

EXPECTED RESULT
1920x1080
