I was playing around with AnyDesk on the Deck, getting some stuff, and I wanted to set the screen share resolution to fit my laptop screen (where I was streaming the screen to). I somehow managed to change the resolution to something really small, and no setting on AnyDesk could change it back.

I opened the menu but could not get to the settings, so I thought a restart should fix it. Of course, I lost connection to AnyDesk, and now, whenever I access the desktop mode, I am greeted by a blank screen after the splash screen. I suspect the desktop mode is still loaded, but as the screen resolution is messed up, nothing is shown on the screen.

Is there any way to change it back to the default?

Edit: Resolved. Solution in the comments

    Once in a terminal, this command should change the resolution

    xrandr --output eDP --mode 800x1280

      @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 or anything. Good luck!

          @SatyrSack Thank you!

          Edit: So I solved it simply by plugging in to an external monitor. I had the resolution set at something like 200x[something] (probably just a dot on the Deck’s screen, lol).

          So I connected it, went to the display settings and adjusted the resolution of the Deck’s screen from there.

          Gosh, having a dock and an external monitor is really useful tbh, I gotta spare some money for this
