[Solved] Display shorter than monitor

Good afternoon. I am from Argentina. I have been using manjaro these past years. This PC is new, I installed endeavourOs and Mabox. Earlier it looked ok, I shut down and now when I boot the display doesn’t use all the monitor, I don’t know if I’m clear describing it. I feel like grabbing the edge of a window to the right to use the whole monitor.
I’ll share some information hoping it may be useful.

Hello @jacqui
Have you tried to run arandr?
Is it possible to change the resolution in it?

Where did you get kernel 5.4.92 from - are you using testing branch?

Hi, thank you. I installed the regular iso but changed to testing, I am more confident doing small frequent updates rather than big ones.
I just rebooted and the display is ok again, I guess that using endeavour this morning may be the reason.
I will try arandr if it happens again.
Thank you, I like this distro.

Ok :slight_smile:
So I mark topic as solved.
