You can restart the X-server with Ctrl+Alt+Backspace (twice) or just reboot.
I did both, display is still large. I went to display configuration, display resolution can’t still be adjusted.
Show us the current driver status: inxi -SGaz (confirm ‘nvidia’ driver active)
Also, can you not get the display as you’d like via System Settings? Are you trying to change display resolution, or scaling?
here is the output:

and yes, I can’t change the display size via settings, here is how it looks like:
the resolution of my monitor is 1920x1080
The nvidia driver is not loaded. Remove ‘nomodeset’ from the kernel boot options.
ooh…I remember that. I can’t boot tumbleweed and just shows blackscreen so I added it on usb boot installation.
can I do it in konsole? if yes, how? or should I restart my computer and press e and then remove the nomodeset? (btw I added the quiet attribute too)
You can do it via YaST Boot Loader, or via the terminal using a CLI editor (eg nano /etc/default/grub). Find the GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT= entry, remove the nomodesetdirective from it, and save it. Then do grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg'to update GRUB.
bochard@localhost:~> sudo nano /etc/default/grub

bochard@localhost:~> sudo grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg'
> #should i enter something here???
I think it wants me to type something. the area is blinking. what should I type?
Typo - sorry, it should be
sudo grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg

ohh sorry, I added the ' at the last part
so, I’ll reboot next, right?
Yes, reboot.

The only thing that matters here is that the nvidia driver needs to be loaded.

Can you try to force the reinstallation of following package. Reboot afterwards.

Also show the results from
sudo journalctl -b | egrep -i "drm|nvidia"
done. nothing happened after reboot. still can’t adjust the display resolution.
