Updated my system today. The way I always do it. and after rebooting the system ( I prefer doing so after a kernel and nvidia updates) The screen was black.
SO I Entered a TTY and logged in from there and rebooted the system again. This time is started and I had the wonderful resolution of 3840x2160. And on a 15' laptop that makes pretty much everything go supersmall.
Started the KDE system settings and set my resolution to 1920x1080, and instant black screen again.
setting resolution with xrandr
xrandr: Configure crtc 0 failed
I'm not sure what to do about this, or how to fix it. And help would be appretiated.

Maybe you could check some details with xrandr --verbose and if there is an output that should be removed you do it with xrandr --output XXX --off.xrandr --output XXX --crtc NNN.

If there is a problem of graphics in Linux, I can guarantee that is usually associated with Nvidia. Nvidia GPU and Linux do not belong in the same sentence at all. YMMV if you try it.

I have had similar issues on a hp notebook nvidia is a pain updating drivers is a priority and is something that like our arch systems requires and that is regularly scheduled maintenence, I found a fix in the Arch wiki specify your search parameters as if you are Google dorking "Nvidia+issues+arch+linux=systems+cli" in fact if you Google along those lines you'll often get a URL straight to the Arch wiki page, but its worth reading the documentation before applying a fix. Apologies for late reply hope its fixed been a crazy month at work and have not even opened my lappy for about 8 weeks
I don't expect anyone to constantly sit and find the solutions for me, just when your going out of ideas on what to try one kinda starts getting pretty thin in the hair.
I also have realized that this is the last machine I will ever buy that has an NVIDIA gpu. and I am talking about for every. So I will give my google fu some last chances and see if it helps.
Thanks

I honestly don’t know.
CRTC: 0
I can only think to try:
xrandr --output eDP-1-1 --mode 1920x1080 --crtc 1
or
xrandr --output eDP-1-1 --mode 1920x1080 --crtc 2
Well, thats better than doing nothing...
ALl I get are configure crtc x failed
Oh, and this happends no matter what resolution I try to set.
And also. This is a laptop with an Intel GPU onboard, and a Nvidia dedicated. And I have optimus running. And I have had problems with running Minecraft: Dungeons, and it seems to be linked to the way my GPU's are setup. And got me to thinking. Could this be the same? And could this be fiksed by renaming the X11 config files and restarting, letting X figure things out?
And could my issues be fixed by writing a proper config file for X so to defining the diffrent outputs, and screens (I only have the laptop monitor, but I apparently have several outputs.)

Please, do not post pictures from terminal, copy and paste as text.
So out of desperation I tried to reinstall Garuda all over again to see if I was able to set resolution then, and to my big supprise, no.

This is what happends:
I open System Settings ( I run KDE)
I go to the bit saying display and monitor
I set the resolution to what I want.
My screen goes black
I have to ctrl+alt+f2 and log in and reboot from there.
I have tried several things in order to repair this, but to no use.
Started out disabeling optimus and tried the diffrent profiles within optimus to see if that had something to do with it.
installed gnome to see if this was something within KDE
Adding and removing modes in xrendr
Setting mode in xrendr Rather than the system settings.
Looked in Nvidia-settings to see if there was something there (Did not think to change anything there. )
So are there anything else you good people can think might work? My brain cant wrap itself around thisone.

Please read and edit your post.
Writing a well formatted post in the forum (Discource powered) is important, if you want readers to easily read and understand.
It's especially important for terminal output.
Here is a brief tutorial.
So. Question related to this.
And I realize that I'm asking in a rather vague way, but.
I booted my laptop in Garuda Gnome Live USB, tried to change res, and ended up in black screen.
Then I booted in Ubuntu LIve USB, and I was able to change resolution. SO...
I was wondering what the diffrences in the LIve USB's are. And I realize that there might be many. BUt I was thinking that there is somethin in Garuda that Ubuntu does not do. Lets say this was due to something done in the kernel, would that explain it, and could I venture into how that might be?

Ubuntu generally uses a far older kernel version than Garuda.
Yes. And my question still stands. Could there be something in the kernel that makes me unable to change resolution?
UPDATE:
I remembered from some fiddling with Gentoo several years ago that there where more than one kernel. So I desided that I'd try installing the lts kernel. And I was able to change resolution again. So basically it is the zen kernel combined with the nvidia driver that might be doing this.
