Hi!
I updated the system today using garuda-update
, so zen-kernel upgraded from 6.4.** to 6.5.3 and now my screen resolution on 1920x1200 looks like this: https://snipboard.io/GtMDcu.jpg (sorry for the link to screenshot - I really can’t explain this stuff, seems resolution scaling is totally corrupted).
If I’m changing resolution to 2560x1600 - it’s looks normal, but it is way too small and if I’m trying to scale it to 125% or more - symbol rendering looks awful, can’t read it without blood out my eyes.
I’m running Lenovo laptop with full AMD hardware, and at first I thought that it is problem caused by AMD drivers. I reverted back to snaphot and added mesa drivers to ignorepkg
, then performed a full update again. Still I have this problem with resolution.
Then I tested wayland session and the resolution problem was absolutely the same.
After that I decided to try the LTS kernel 6.1.53-1-lts and I was able to switch my resolution to 1920x1200 without any problems.
Here is my xrandr
output (it is the same for both kernels - zen and LTS):

So I guess it is the zen-kernel problem, isn’t it? Should I write a bug-report or something?
