Hello All, I am running into issue where when I boot up or shutdown the fedora spinner screen is duplicated on my wide screen. The resolution for the screen is 5120x2160
Please see attached
How can I fix it?
This is generated from something called Plymouth! It handles presenting the startup graphics for Fedora. I have been doing some digging into this recently because of a related package plymouth-theme-hot-dog - Fedora Packages which I am very fond of. 
Maybe what’s happening is the native resolution is so large - Plymouth is duplicating the contents because it thinks it’s two monitors? One file you could mabye check in the early startup phase is in the Grub configuration:
sudo cat /etc/default/grub
And then there, look for these variables which may/may not be present:
GRUB_GFXMODE=1366x768x24
GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX=keep
In there, you might be able to adjust the bootloader’s resolution as needed or expand it to your native resolution of 2560x2160?

Hi Robert,
Thank you for taking the time to reply.
I have tired changing the resolution as you described with no success.
My screen is a 34 inch screen with 21:9 5k screen.
Besides the duplicated boot logo issue, I am also noticing some screen tearing and it looks like a invisible mirror like vertical line in the middle of the screen.
It’s not visible at first look but as soon as you move around any application through the middle of the screen it’s very visible and you can notice the distortion.
I think also tried was to change to a different distro temporarily with X11 and I was not able to see the screen tearing issue anymore, but the boot logo being duplicated is still there.
If you any further advice on how to tackle this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Pankaj
I also noticed that my wide screen is being treated a ls 2 separate virtual screens. My screen support 5120x2160 and it’s being split in half .
