Bug ID: 499480
Summary: VRR working even when it is off
Classification: Plasma
Product: kwin
Version: 6.2.5
Platform: Arch Linux
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: wayland-generic
Assignee: kwin-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: lu.santi....@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
My monitor supports VRR, but it has a completely messy implementation in
hardware. My screen keeps blinking every time the frame rate changes. So I just
turned it off long time ago. Today I updated to version 6.2.5 and started
blinking again so it means VRR was turned on again even it being turned off in
settings and on my monitors settings (it is clearly overwriting my monitor's
settings - if I set HDR on in settings, for example, it turns on my monitors
HDR even though I turned it off in my monitor long time ago as well). I updated
to 6.3 Beta 2 to test (as shown below by kinfo command) and the problem
persists.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Turn off VRR on KDE Wayland
OBSERVED RESULT
Blinking screen every time fps changes.
EXPECTED RESULT
Only turn on VRR when explicit marked as on in my kde settings.
