Arch Linux KDE can not change resolution. Only list one resolution.

Just installed Artix on my Dell laptop and notice in KDE only one resolution is listed.  After ~10 min on Google I found this answer

My situation matched theirs.  Command :

inxi -G

 Output was listing the driver as  intel not modesetting

As root I created this file, rebooted, and can change resolution OK now.

/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf

Section "Device"
   Identifier  "Intel Graphics"
   Driver      "modesetting"
EndSection
