Comment on How can I reset the desktop mode screen resolution?

I don't have a complete solution, but I do have some ideas:
- Have you tried hooking it up to an external monitor? Sometimes auto-config can help you recover from weird states if you plug in a different display.
- On my Deck, I can reach a terminal by using CTRL-ALT-F4 that is separate from the main desktop mode (CTRL-ALT-F1 switches back). Default user seems to be called "deck". You may need to set a password to use sudo. I am not sure exactly how the desktop environment is set up on the Deck so I am not sure exactly what you need to change or where the files would be -- maybe check under /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d to see if anything is set to an insane value there?
- You might try sending Valve a support request
- As a last resort, you could try a factory reset. You'll nuke everything else on it too though...

Once in a terminal, this command should change the resolution

@SatyrSack @e0qdk Thanks. I, unfortunately, do not have a dock. I will go to a friend tomorrow who has and I will be connecting it to a monitor. Hopefully this will help.
Thank you!

If you have the ability to connect to an external monitor, you can likely fix it by changing the resolution in the system settings instead, if a GUI is easier for you. But if you still end up using that command, “eDP” refers to the internal display specifically, so you don’t have to worry about that command messing up the external monitor’s resolution. Good luck!
