set the set resolution to native
Setting the resolution to native doesn't work.
E183-13.0 Live and Installed boot into GUI, but still have the spit screen.
Just to be sure, with 12.2 based builds you don't have this issue, correct?
@LouiIPSW How can I set the resolution to Native? I tried it with the Screen Layout Editor.
Can you please post the outputs of xrandr
(without any arguments) when the screens looks as it should (12.2) and when there is a problem (13.0)?
@probonopd That's right, with the 12.2 based builds I do not have the split screen and the Global Menu is fully visible.

@probonopd 0E185-13.0: still split screen. Output of xrandr same as 0E183-13.0
Yes, that's expected - nothing has changed in that area. But thanks for confirming.
@probonopd I managed to get rid of the split screen. I googled a lot and almost gave up. But to be honest I am not sure anymore what exactly did the trick. It's late now, so I can not try and repeat what I did.
Possibly installing this package solved the issue:
sudo pkg install -y xf86-video-intel
I will reinstall helloSystem 0E185 again and repeat what I did, and pay attention carefully.
I'll let you know when I found the solution.
Indeed we have some packages missing from our package list for FreeBSD 13 probably because they were not in quarterly packages at the time; so I am going to try adding them back....
Hello @schusz the latest https://github.com/helloSystem/ISO/releases/tag/experimental-13.0 (build 0E190+) might be worth testing.
Hey @probonopd Just confirming that
sudo pkg install -y xf86-video-intel
solved the 'split screen' issue.
I will install 0E190 tonight and report back.
Hey @probonopd , 13.0 0E190 on my Dell Latitude E4300 has no split screen anymore. Thanks :-).
Thanks for re-testing and confirming @schusz.
@probonopd In both Live and installed versions of hello-0.5.0_0E142-FreeBSD-13.0-amd64.iso and hello-0.5.0_0E157-FreeBSD-13.0-amd64.iso (on Dell Latitude E4300; hardware Probe https://bsd-hardware.info/?probe=d5051ef185#Devices) the Global Menu's top half is not visible.
And the screen is split in two. The right part of the desktop occupies approx. left 4/5th of the screen, and the left part occupies right 1/5th of the screen. It is not possible to cross the dividing border with the mouse pointer.
