How to setup OpenMW for modern Morrowind on Linux / SteamOS and Steam Deck
How to install Hollow Knight: Silksong mods on Linux, SteamOS and Steam Deck- Incorrect monitor resolution as reported by Steam client…

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?
It might be something like this problem?
https://community.frame.work/t/fw16-built-in-display-claims-to-offer-4096xn-resolution-in-some-things/60858/2
Screen 0: minimum 16 x 16, current 4096 x 2304, maximum 32767 x 32767DP-3 connected primary 4096x2304+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 600mm x 340mm
4096x2304 239.98*+
So this could be less of a Steam issue and more of a Gnome/Mutter/Wayland issue. This computer was provisioned while I'd still had a 4K monitor so most likely some holdover from that. Time to poke around.
