Unknown Graphics Controller and Display Settings are missing all resolutions above 1920x1080 and I need 3840x1600x60Hz preferably

I have Ubuntu Desktop, arm64 installed on Raspberry Pi 4b with 8Gb ram.

But I'm using Wayland display server. I don't know why in sudo inxi -G output there's Display: server: X.Org 1.21.1.2 displayed?

When I turn my Raspberry Pi on, I can clearly see on the purple login screen, that all display's real estate is used = all 3840x1600 pixels are lit.

But after I'll provide the password and the desktop with side panel and upper taskbar arrives, my display's resolution is decreased to 1920x1080. I'm sure Raspberry Pi can handle 2 4K displays, therefore the question is, what can I do to have this resolution available in Display Settings.

And what can I do to help Ubuntu recognize my Graphics Controller? I know, that it's integrated into main ARM CPU, but nevertheless, there should be something in there, right?

I think you are correct. Could you paste the output of the the commands: `inxi -G`and `xrandr` into your question? This way we know, which driver the system sees and what the X-Server thinks you have...

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
