Blank laptop screen when changing resolution on Fedora 41 (XFCE Spin)

Haven't had much luck on reddit so I thought I'd ask here:

Not sure what I need to do to get this working correctly, but whenever I change the resolution under the Display settings, my laptop screen just goes blank:

None of these are custom resolutions, but the default ones that come with the install. To my knowledge, everything is upgraded and installed like it needs to be.

Here is some information

root@host:~# lspci | grep -i vga
0000:00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Meteor Lake-P [Intel Arc Graphics] (rev 08)

cec                    98304  3 drm_display_helper,xe,i915

Even when running xrandr through CLI I get the following:

root@host:~# xrandr --output eDP-1 --mode 1920x1080
xrandr: Configure crtc 0 failed

Ideally, I would like to change the resolution within the Display GUI. Any ideas what's wrong ?

I loaded the original fedora iso from a bootable media drive which comes with the gnome de by default, and that works fine...Perhaps it's something X specific since gnome uses Wayland ?

What resolution do you want and what resolutions will the monitor support?

xrandr

Re: Blank laptop screen when changing resolution on Fedora 41 (XFCE Spin)

xrandr

I would like to use the resolution 1920x1200, since everything is so small with 2560x1600. Currently I've been using Windows Scaling Factor set to 2x under Settings Editor > xsettings, but still would like to know why can't I change the resolution.

Sometimes the laptop screen would go blank waiting for my confirmation to keep the resolution, and then revert back. Then there are other times where I notice that it would act as if it changed the resolution used under the drop down, but the resolution would remain the same.

I'm not sure if its some i915 setting causing this, or it being Xorg. On Gnome which uses Wayland it works like it should, but with XFCE the resolution fails to change.

Here is some information in xrandr. No custom resolutions have been added in, this is all the defaults:
