Set desktop mode screen resolution (feddit.org)

Hello,

As graphene dropped the QBR update this week, I gave the new desktop mode a try. However, I couldn't find an option to set the screen resolution. Everything looks really "pixelated" and text is hard to read.

Does anyone know how to set the external screen resolution to 3440*1440p?

(Pixel 8a, Graphene OS)

I'm on Pixel betas, not Graphene, I can set resolution under Connected devices, it lists my second screen and list of resolutions. It got a little worse with the last 2 betas, I had quite good looking output, my screen is 1920x1280 instead of 1080p, it began to be stretched, as it offers only 1920x1080, or 1280x720 and something even smaller. Hopefully it will get fixed. But this is my special problem with my weird resolution screen.

Thank you. I found the option now with your help, but it doesn't allow any change. The field is just greyed out.

Sometimes you need to unplug and replug the phone into the adapter to get a higher resolution.
