        Uncooperative for not implementing mesa specific gbm which technically works different than nvidia drivers, and has nothing to do with the wayland protocol? This is why wayland is a joke.

    On xorg I cannot use two monitors with different refresh rates the way they should work, I always have to turn off one of them if I want to have a decent experience. VRR doesn't work either not just because of that but because VRR only works with one monitor. Only solution I found doesn't support most DEs. The rest I have no trouble with, I think only GNOME has a few issues on xorg. Honestly if I was using a laptop instead of a desktop PC xorg would just work perfect for me.

    On wayland the only thing that works really well is mixed refresh rates. Better than anywhere else. VRR works with multiple monitors but it's somewhat broken and only supported through Plasma and Sway. Because of this Wayland/XWayland bullshit many applications have a meltdown when it comes to simple shit like dragging and dropping.

        Sure, they just work. Locked at 144fps on both. In your case honestly I don't see the point of running one of them at 165hz (I do have a 165hz monitor and I can't really notice enough of a difference between that and 144hz that I would complain about it if I had to drop it down). Try a 165hz monitor and a 60hz one.

          This also works (AMD). What doesn't work is VRR mixed with non VRR.
          But that is very niche use case. When I use my Monitor in VRR mode for vidya I turn off the other monitor anyways.
          All of this is mostly a driver problem and fundamentally not a X11 problem.

            Again, they work at those refresh rates, but unless you disable vsync they're framerate capped. I'm using AMD too. This has been enough of an issue to include this:

            https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=X.Org-AsyncFlipSecondaries

            Also 60hz VRR monitors -are- more niche. It's nice to have the option to not toss away one monitor because you might buy another one and it's honestly a lot more comfortable for multitasking.

            Is AMD "TearFree" a vsync?

          • 2 years ago
            Anonymous

            Tearfree is tricky. Works with low latency, but has frameskipping issues. At high refresh rates it's not too noticeable, but still bothersome. It's never as smooth as what you would have if you use normal vsync on a single monitor with a high refresh rate on x11, or whatever wayland does.

            Also besides KWin I don't know of any other compositor that's able to put a manual soft cap on framerate so that it doesn't jump to fricking 1600FPS or whatever and makes the GPU spike to full usage intermittently whenever there's something like an animation. Those animated drop down menus and such are a real riot. If your GPU doesn't have coil whine at such absurd refresh rates it might be fine, but personally I'm not a fan of letting this shit just run at a grossly unnecessary framerate. I'm fine with using KDE Plasma but I would love things to just work at least as well on the display side as they work on Windows. I've been using this workaround last year:

            KWIN_X11_NO_SYNC_TO_VBLANK=1
            KWIN_X11_REFRESH_RATE=165000
            KWIN_X11_FORCE_SOFTWARE_VSYNC=1

            on /etc/environment but it's a weird and imperfect way to get around this shit.

      I have 165 and 144hz monitors. Before I also had a 60Hz monitor.
      On AMD 5700XT there is no stutters and since Nvidia is open-sourcing their drivers, I wanted to upgrade to 4090 when it's out.
      What are the stutters you are talking about?

            That's fine, just people like using multiple monitors for multiple things

            I guess having a really good monitor, maybe ultrawide, would be a better choice on linux specifically. But it's just not ideal. Not everyone loves the ultrawide shit.

        One screen works fine. Plug in an external one and see what happens

    With Ubuntu using wayland as default the days of x are numbered.

      They renamed their master branch to "main" so yes might as well be.
