After a switch by Debian project to a wayland protocol, I am not able to use a full resolution of our monitors.
Monitors are LG-29UM57-P. Their default and native resolution is 2560x1080.
Monitor is connected to PC via DisplayPort interface.
This issue only manifested after migrating from GNU/Debian v8 Jessie to GNU/Debian v 9 Stretch and to GNU/Debian v10 Buster.
Monitor functioned as expected under Debian 8 Jessie at it's full 2560x1080 resolution.
There was no change in hardware what so ever. Once Debian Stretch was installed, it is no longer possible to set a monitor resolution to it's native resolution.
Same issue with Debian 10 Buster.
Please advise what can be done (other than rolling back to Debian Jessie) to switch XServer+Wayland to a proper full resolution.
Please note, exact same hardware PC/Graphical card + displayport cable + Monitor worked as expected with Debian Jessie, therefor this is not a hardware limitation.
Thank you for looking in to this matter.
