SDDM login is glitched

Guys so I just installed Arch Linux today on my laptop with wayland, sddm, and plasma
I enabled sddm.service

After I reboot sddm has many lines on it, and I cant see anything
I blindly typed my password and spammed enter and I logged in to Plasma no problems, currently typing this on the system.
# How can I fix SDDM login screen?

## Steps I've tried to fix this
Reboot, install `xf86-video-amdgpu,intel, xorg (installed all group packages), xrandr`, applying plasma settings to SDDM, making the script below
I have a hunch my laptop display can only display in its native resolution, but connecting a external display didn't help

```
# /usr/local/share/sddm/scripts/Xsetup
#!/bin/sh
xrandr -s 1920x1080
```

Default Login after install

Plasma works fine

Re: SDDM login is glitched

Uninstalling `xf86-video-amdgpu` and `xf86-video-intel` fixed it!
For those who come across this issue.
