How to force SDDM to 1680*1050? Because of this I can't login at all because it's set to WAYLAND by default which doesn't work on FreeBSD

[kriptomahsun]

I have a one good monitor, but it's bugged. It lists 1920*1080 as default, but it's actually blurry and not right on that resolution. It must be 1680*1050 actually. Can I force SDDM to use 1680*1050 instead?
I must say I can't login at all. So give me something terminal related.

Hi, did you looked at that thread below? Also, I don't think SDDM greeter runs in Wayland, though.

As of SDDM version 0.20, Wayland sessions are listed and can be started from SDDM, but the SDDM greeter itself still runs in X11 mode by default.

Add xrandr -s 1920x1200 to /usr/local/share/sddm/scripts/Xsetup.

Reboot for the change to take effect.

There may be a better place to put this command, but I have not found it yet.

Alternative way (I use this for VirtualBox),

Create a /usr/local/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/monitor.conf:

Section "Monitor"
  Identifier "VGA-0"
  Option "PreferredMode" "1920x1200"
EndSection

You just need to adjust the "VGA-0" to an appropriate identifier for your system.
