I just got it booted, its not seeing my primary ultrawide monitor. Didn't have a second to trouble shoot. Have to go pick up my kiddos. Have you seen something like that before? It doesn't show it in the KDE display settings.
Yes, a week ago because of an old NVIDIA GPU.
Resolvable or did you need a new GPU?
The only solution I found was to install MXlinux which worked out of the box, after spending hours on arch/fedora distros. But then my friend said he ran into some bugs that I didn't see myself like random freezing and video editor problems, so in helped him reinstall his windoze over the phone. It is the first time in 20 years that I couldn't make Linux work properly on old hardware.
Does it work on another OS? Are you using displayport or something else? You probably want to use the proprietary driver which should come with Bazzite. You can also see if x11/Wayland makes a difference if Bazzite KDE supports it. I think the GNOME version is Wayland only.
This is the one thing I might not be able to help you with because I don't use Nvidia anymore. And I don't have an ultrawide lol. Screen height is more important for what I do.
It works on win10. Funny I have a lenovo t490, running bazzite and I have their lenovo dock 2 and I can dock the laptop and it connects to both monitors and its internal display. The difference is the laptop is running Gnome instead of KDE.
Wouldn't the other main difference be your t490 isn't running nvidia?
Try running journalctl -b --grep "wayland" and see if anything interesting comes up... Doubt I can help you actually solve this though. It could also be a KDE bug with Nvidia.
Well, yes, that's a pretty huge difference. It's fine, I'm ditching these cards after chatting with people here and upgrading to the current low end AMD card.
Hmm, maybe it's a KDE bug then....
