Description of problem: Since a little while (i.e., for at least a few releases), the choice in display resolutions in the "display - system settings" dialog have been very limited. In fact, for my laptop (Dell xps 15), which is capable of a 3840 x 2160 resolution, I only see "3200x1800" as the only choice for the given aspect ratio. All other choices correspond to the more traditional aspect ratio, and thus would leave wide margins. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 7:4.14.3-3.fc24 (I'm not convinced kdeadmin is responsible for this, though it is the package providing the GUI for these settings (I believe). The actual limitation may come from the actual video driver... How reproducible: always. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open the "System settings" dialog, 2. Go to the "Display and Monitor" module, 3. Try to select a different resolution. Actual results: Expected results: A wider selection of applicable resolutions (i.e., matching the physical aspect ratio). In previous releases there were at least four or five of them. Additional info:
What does output from command line: xrandr say? that should be the same that is offered by plasma. If xrandr does not display what you expect, the problem lies elsewhere.

(By the way, I'm observing other bugs, related to my three-display setup. The one I'm reporting here, though, is the most pressing.)
This message is a reminder that Fedora 26 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 26. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '26'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 26 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
Fedora 26 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2018-05-29. Fedora 26 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this bug. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
