I just installed the nvidia driver, and the plasma dekstop is bigger than the size of the monitor screen. it cann’t fully displayed in the monitor. the resolution has been set automatically at the biggest resolution.
I tried to run nvidia-setting, but cann’t find the functionality about "resize the monitor ".
Could you please give me some suggestions.
Regards
The desktop in question might be relevant here. Is Plasma running as X11 or Wayland compositor? Please report back with the results from

The inxi version in 15.6 is old and buggy WRT Ga output. Please run sudo inxi -U to update it, then run inxi -GSaz --vs and paste input/output here with one line containing only ``` above your paste, and another below. When you copy to paste, begin copy on the line containing inxi, and include the following shell prompt, so it is unambiguously clear that we see here what you saw there.
Video drivers are not properly installed.
I follow the steps on the guides. no warning or errors are reported in the installation process.
It seems that the 3650x2180 is missing .
Uninstall nouveau, boot to command prompt, install Nvidia proprietary drivers.
