Feel free to ask any kind of support questions, as we grow more succinct answers will be available. Let's make this community grow.

We are important to one another, not only in the linux world but also in the fediverse as a whole. Feel free to reach out to me with questions or concerns, as we grow bigger I will look into adding mods. (This section will be updated as needed.)

Having issues with the display when waking up resolution and position is reverting on one of the monitors.

OS: Arch Linux x86_64

Kernel: Linux 6.9.5-zen1-1-zen

DE: KDE Plasma 6.0.5

WM: KWin (Wayland)

CPU: 12th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-12700KF (20) @ 5.00 GHz

GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 [Discrete]

Unsure of how to go about this. I am using Display Port (unsure of what version but it supports sound too.) Not sure where to look for logs, or what exactly could be the culprit.

Any suggestions?

what driver are you using for your GPU?

have you tried a different nvidia driver? were the results the same?

I am using the Proprietary DKMS driver, 550 (forget numbers after) and I realize my post got cut off of all of the info I put. I don't want to switch to the Nouveau driver because of performance issues I had.

have you tried the 555 beta driver?

Since this seems to affect your montior, I'm kind of leaning towards this being more of an nvidia issue. I would recommend trying the 555 beta driver to see if that fixes it at all. Worse case scenario you might have to wait for KDE 6.1 to hit the repos to see if that helps too.

I don't use nvidia myself so I can't readily check it nor am i aware of how to install the beta driver, i think it's in the AUR.

Thank you for the suggestion! I will likely get the 555 driver installed. I was leaning towards it being an Nvidia issue. I will look into the proper way to replace it with the beta driver.

feel free to come back and ask for more help if that doesn't fix it

Thank you! Won't be able to test until later tonight, but will report back if it does fix, and share what more I may have had to do in the off chance it could help someone else.
