Samsung Odyssey G9 49"

Hello!

Before I start, please know that I am a total noob to Linux. I know Windows and MacOS like the back of my hand, but I am tired of Microsoft and Apple and want to move to something new, hence Linux. However, I am using a Samsung Galaxy G9 49" monitor and I can’t seem to figure out how to allow Linux to display in the correct resolution (5120x1440). To get familiar with Linux, I installed CachyOS via VirtualBox and I am wondering if that is the reason for the issue. But, wanted to see if anyone had any ideas, or if I should just dual boot my Windows PC.

[BUG] Samsung G9 Ultrawide Quirk Causes 5120x1440 Display Option to Not Appear · Issue #85 · CachyOS/kernel-patches · GitHub It seems to me that you’re hitting this which is unfortunate. Does installing the LTS kernel make the correct resolution appear? sudo pacman -S linux-cachyos-lts linux-cachyos-lts-headers

I will try that in Konsole now and report back! :slight_smile:

Unfortunately, after reboot (which took a super long time) and once I signed in I received a black screen with just my mouse on it and after about a minute or two the desktop finally loaded, I still do not have the resolution! :sob:
