Pixel 9 Pro XL resolution and refresh rate issues

[oggboggb]

Spent a few hours diagnosing some strange issues I was having with my Pixel 9 XL Pro and Apollo/Artemis (same behavior in Sunshine/Moonlight).

Issue:

• Could only use 1080p @ 60hz and 1440p @ 60hz. Any other options, including the native resolutions at any refresh rate, would cause the stream to quit immediately, and attempts to resume the session (be it a desktop or steam big picture session) would throw a "Read timed out" error.

Solution:

• The Pixel 9 XL Pro has a "Screen resolution" option under Settings > Display & touch. It was set to "High resolution (2244 x 1008)". I changed it to "Max resolution (2992 x 1344)" and it works perfectly, even using weird custom resolutions like 2560x1150 @ 120hz, or the lower native resolution (2244x1008).

Thanks for sharing the findings. There're already several reports about Pixel 8 not working with weird resolutions, and this might be related. I'll add this to FAQ later.

Wow, I was having the same issues with my P9P and this of all things also solved it. Thank you for investigating / sharing!
