Hey guys,

I just got me a new laptop, so now I need to limit my screen resolution.

...the new laptop has a 14" 4K display, I really don't need 3840x2160 on that little screen - FullHD should be more than enough, expecially when that means better performance in games.

I know I can switch the resolution on a per user basis in Plasma or Gnome, but how can I limit the whole thing to "only" 1920x1080? As in, even gdm/sddm runs at that resolution?

Try video=1920x1080 kernel option.

Back in the olden days I'd put that in /etc/X11/xorg.conf or somewhere like that, but nowadays that file doesn't exist and everything's autodetected...

Any suggestions?

Cheers MH
