[arch-general] Problem regarding Resolution on Nvidia
Hello,
I am using nvidia proprietary driver on arch linux (GNOME with Wayland), My HDMI port broke so I connected my monitor using DVI ports (with VGA adapter since my monitor does not have any DVI output). Now my aspect ratio is fixed on 4:3. I can't make it to 16:9 nor can I use 1920*1080.
Steps I've taken : 1. Following archwiki I tried to create a new rule for xrandr but it failed 2. I tried editing xorg.conf refresh rate and it added some weird resolution but still no 16:9 3. Added subsection on "Screen" defining resolution, it did not do anything ;(
What can I do? Any suggestion will be helpful.
Thanks in advance.

You *might* want to try adjusting your framebuffer resolution, using the 'vga=0xwhatever' parameter in your bootloader config (you can get a list of these resolutions with `sudo hwinfo --framebuffer`).

Did you try some troubleshooting with Xrandr? (https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Xrandr) What screen configuration modes are shown when your display is connected?
