[SOLVED] Zoom bug KDE

After installing nvidia proprietary driver's everything seems to be zoomed in and changing the display scale doesn't do anything
What it looks like now: https://imgur.com/a/TZcGhM9
How do i get it back to normal? Im using 2 displays one of them 1080p 144hz and the other 4k 60hz , i tried lowering the 4k one to 1080p but that didnt really fix it either.
Xorg.conf:

# nvidia-xconfig: X configuration file generated by nvidia-xconfig
# nvidia-xconfig:  version 525.89.02

Section "ServerLayout"
    Identifier     "Layout0"

Re: [SOLVED] Zoom bug KDE

Remove the xorg.conf, instead create a /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-nvidia-disableEdidDPI.conf

Section "OutputClass"
  Identifier "nvidia"
  MatchDriver "nvidia-drm"
   Driver "nvidia"
   Option "UseEdidDpi" "False"
EndSection

This is "zoomed  in" DPI is btw in many cases actually more correct in regards to your screen size, but many people got used to the "hardcoded" 96x96 default. FWIW especially in a multi monitor context agreeing on one DPI is probably what you want to be doing.

Great , please mark as [SOLVED] by editing the title in your first post (... while editing you could make things more tidy by using code instead of quote for the output)  https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Genera … ow_to_post
