Xwayland in Gnome supports more resolutions.

Xwayland in Gnome supports more resolutions.

In gnome I use the monitor at 4k scaled at 200% and in Qtile using wlr-randr.

If I write to a console in Gnome the xrandr command, it gives me the following output

XWAYLAND0 connected primary 3840x2160+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 620mm x 340mm
   3840x2160     59.98*+
   2048x1536     59.95

   1280x1024     59.89  
   1280x960      59.94  
   1152x864      59.96  
   1024x768      59.92

   320x240       59.52  
   2560x1600     59.94  
   1920x1200     59.88  
   1680x1050     59.95  
   1440x900      59.89  
   1280x800      59.81  
   720x480       59.71  
   640x400       59.95  
   320x200       58.96  
   3200x1800     59.96  
   2880x1620     59.96  
   2560x1440     59.96  
   2048x1152     59.90  
   1920x1080     59.96  
   1600x900      59.95  
   1368x768      59.88  
   1280x720      59.86  
   1024x576      59.90  
   864x486       59.92  
   720x400       59.55  
   640x350       59.77 

and if I write it to Qtile, only this

XWAYLAND0 connected 1920x1080+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 620mm x 340mm
   1920x1080     59.96*+

This makes steam games in qtile the maximum resolution is 1920x1080, while in gnome games can use resolutions up to 4k (my monitor is 4k), could something be done so that this can be implemented in qtile? Thank you

i know it isn’t going to help but I can confirm this behaviour

I’ve looked into this a few times and played around a bunch with the code, and carefully compared what we do with sway and dwl (which both print a longer list of modes) and I still can’t figure out what’s causing this!
