    Hi all

    I've installed arch linux on my MBP, best thing I ever did, after installing deepin ofcourse. I do however have an issue that the resolution is set to it's highest and I can't seem to change it. Infact I can't seem to do anything with the screen, when I select to rotate right for instance, it doesn't change. Is this a deepin issue or could it be an arch linux graphics driver issue? I'm pretty new to linux, so I fully expect it's me missing something obvious.

    Thanks

    You mean you installed DDE on Arch, right?

    What if you change your screen resolution with command line tool xrandr?

    thanks for the reply.

    Yes DDE

    currently im 2560x1600

    when I xrandr --fb 1920x1200

    the scale doesn't change as such. the working area is reduced, in both axis and there's a "glitched" border around the bottom and right

    ah! I've just done a

    xrandr -s 1920x1200

    Please paste the outputs of the command 'xrandr', thanks!

    The scale, you can exec 'gsetttings set com.deepin.xsettings scale-factor  ', such as:  gsettings set com.deepin.xsettings scale-factor  1.5
