    [Monitors] GPD Win Max getting display right

    I am new to Kubuntu. What I am on here is the GPD Win Max in Live mode. In Safe graphics. I am unable to rotate the screen. If I boot normal it's quad blurred because of I think wrong resolution & refresh rate. I tried to rotate it because here Plasma recognized the screen as 800x1280 but it should be 1280x800.

    It doesn't allow rotating here even if I type:

    Code:
    xrandr -0 right
    Here is my attempt to use xrandr to add the mode but guess it will not work in safemode. the real issue I had was in trying to start it normally it was so blurred I had somehow selected install and the cursor is not visible.

    Code:
    kubuntu@kubuntu:~$ xrandr
    xrandr: Failed to get size of gamma for output default
    Screen 0: minimum 800 x 1280, current 800 x 1280, maximum 800 x 1280

    I have no idea what that error is there at the last & it has been there on every distro I tried so far. The few that can make it to a screen and one installed on an external device.

    In this video Phawx is using Ubuntu. Now the catch is other than saying he upgraded the kernel and changed the SSD, he didn't say what he DID to get a clear screen to the point where he could add another kernel.

    Those with more experience with Kubuntu\Ubuntu what is missing?

    I likely will install this externally but on this machine. Just upgrade the kernel? One distro with 5.8.6 kernel can run all the hardware except the screen & they seem stumped about the screen. That was my install but the commands do not take even installed.

    Anyone with more hardware experience have any ideas? I tested a lot of images and ironically Gnome which I do not like, very unfamiliar work flow did seem to handle this screen better. This is actually the 1 KDE in a non blurry mode I have gotten on here. Other Plasmas crashed & burned seriously here.

    I have gone through all the other posts online about GPD Pocket 2 & GPD Win 2. I have the Win 2, so in fact those things work, but not here with this screen?

    Thank you in advance to any who may have suggestions. As I am new I posted here but had considered putting this under displays.

    Everything here is down to this weird dislay... it seems it can't be detected properly.
