Hi everyone,
I'm facing a serious problem with my Raspberry Pi 4 and would appreciate any help or advice.
**Initial situation:**
I was having audio issues that I couldn't solve, and after trying several solutions without success, I ended up installing PipeWire and another tool I can't remember. I remember that `raspi-config` was giving me an error saying that something didn't exist, so I reinstalled it to see if that would fix the problem, and it did.
**Problem with Vulkan:**
Then, I remembered that Vulkan existed and decided to reinstall it using PiKISS under the "other" category. During the compilation process, I was concerned that several *warnings*, red letters, and something related to `config.h` were appearing. Even though I had a bad feeling about it, I decided to go ahead, as I've had similar problems compiling things in the past (like Mario64co-opDX, but that's another story).
**The current problem:**
After rebooting the Raspberry Pi, the *display manager* stopped working completely. I tried everything, even accessing the terminal with `Ctrl+F4` to pull up a graphical interface manually, but to no avail. This worried me quite a bit because I have a lot of modifications made to my Raspberry Pi, especially the Openbox and DWM settings, which took me many hours to adjust and I don't want to lose them.
**Partial solution:**
I connected my Raspberry Pi to the main computer and decided to edit the `/boot/firmware/config.txt` file, as whenever I have similar problems, they are usually related to this file. Since the problem started when installing Vulkan (or at least that's what I assume), I deleted the line: `dtoverlay=vc4-kms-v3d`.
This allowed me to start the display manager again and use the Raspberry Pi, but now I'm facing another problem: I can't adjust the device resolution like I used to, which significantly affects the graphical performance. For example, Super Mario World now runs at about 4 FPS.
**Question:**
How can I fix this problem without having to reconfigure Openbox, DWM, and other settings that are crucial to me from scratch? I wouldn't mind reinstalling Flatpak apps or games, but I want to avoid reconfiguring those tools at all costs. If reinstalling is the only option, what files or settings should I copy over so I don't lose all my work, and how should I restore them afterwards?
Thanks in advance for your help.
