How to set Custom Resolutions in Bazzite Desktop KDE
Hi, is there a way to force set custom resolutions for your device's display in Bazzite Desktop KDE? I'm using non steam gaming mode version, on a Win Mini 7840u.
I'm trying to change to
720x1280 instead of 1080x1920 for my device's display in handheld mode for some games to get better performance, on external monitor it looks like it can be switched but handheld display only has 1024x768 and 1080x1920 as the only other options. I was wondering if there was a tool like CRU on Windows that would work
Is there a way to achieve this on Bazzite Desktop?6 Replies
i know there was a way to do it on x11 (which is dead), not sure how to do it on wayland
ah thats a shame, certain games benefit a lot when resolution is lowered to 720p
i can't seem to find many options online for alternatives. xrandr doesn't seem to work on bazzite far as i've tried
xrandr is for x11 which bazzite does not use (its used in nvidia images, however x11 will be removed from that too ASAP once we have an nvidia driver that works on wayland)
so dont go for a solution that relies on x11
find one for wayland if you can
Especially if you only want this for some games, you can use gamescope: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Gamescope
If you’re using steam, you can go to the game’s launch options in its settings and add:
gamescope -W 1280 -H 720 -r 120 -- %command%
You can also add -f for fullscreen. I just tested it on my Bazzite install and it works for me
Appreciate it, I’m going to try this! Cheers
