After update to 6.9.4 that becomes:

No remarkable difference other than the resolutions chosen. The physical screen size (and implied aspect ratio) is also very different. Is either correct?
Yes, the 6.9.3 kernel gets it right. Every other kernel since arch was installed on 1/8/17 has gotten it right. Something in 6.9.4 seems to have changed. Likely an unintended side effect of some other change. Bug opened: https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/packaging/packages/linux/-/issues/62 -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
