RPi4 - Anyone able to get full resolution in any DE?

I have been trying to get lxqt (openbox) to run in the monitor native 2560x1440 but it seems confined to only 1 low resolution of 576p. Seems like other standard resolutions such as 1920x1080 for example should be supported. I'm wondering if I am missing some driver? Note that I had to install xf86-...

Take a copy of Raspbian, boot it, “modprobe configs”, “zcat /proc/config.gz”
Thanks you, will try it as soon as my hardware arrives. Is any running a Pi4 and Raspbian able to post that output in the meantime?

Kernel options needed to get RPi4 to boot and run properly

Can someone point me to something that details which kernel options are needed to get the Raspberry Pi 4 to boot and run properly? My goal is to have Arch ARM armv7h running on it. For reference, here is the base config file for that kernel.

@jahboater - Agreed. -mfpu should no be simple vfp I would think. For RPi3B+ I use the setting you recommended. For example: https://github.com/graysky2/kodi-raspbe ... -pi4.patch

Another option would be Arch Linux.
To be clear, Arch Linux != Arch ARM. For the Pie you want Arch ARM.

I think different distros ship different config.txt contents. For example, on Arch ARM, see this config.txt.

Provide a cross platform stress test. Systester does this for x86_64 and i686 but not for ARM unfortunately (the purpose of this thread). If CalcPi is multithreaded, it satisfies all the criteria... if I could compile it that is :D

I found this which suggests that adding 'dtparam=audio=on' to /boot/config.txt will remedy this situation which indeed it does... why is it necessary I guess is my question after running under the 4.1.x series without it?

If the modules are the same on each build perhaps the problem lies in the differences in versioning of wpa_supplicant. What version does Raspbian run?
