How to setup OpenMW for modern Morrowind on Linux / SteamOS and Steam Deck

But the Steam client still thinks that my monitor is 4K
Primary Display Resolution: 4096 x 2304
Desktop Resolution: 4096 x 2304
Primary Display Size: 23.62" x 13.39"
This wouldn't be a problem as everything in-client works and scales well. But some games inherit their display resolution setting from Steam, which I then need to change to the actual 2560x1440 resolution.
Worse, a few games do not allow this setting to be changed. So my GPU is working overtime to render at a higher resolution that I no longer use, losing high FPS in the process. And I can't find any setting or any way to get Steam client to re-query my display resolution.
I tried perusing the Steam client files to see if there is a conf file I can just edit, but have been unsuccessful so far. Has anybody else experienced anything like this?
