Bug ID: 495122
Summary: System locks up when setting 4k screen to 120Hz on
RTX2080, partial workaround with kscreen-doctor until
locks up on logout
Classification: Plasma
Product: kwin
Version: 6.2.1
Platform: Arch Linux
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: wayland-generic
Assignee: kwin-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: a...@digitalsignalperson.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
When I set my 4k screen to 120Hz, the system stops responding to keyboard/mouse
and all screens are frozen. I cannot do Ctrl+Alt+F2 to switch to another VT.
However I can be monitoring journalctl over ssh while this happens and there is
no crash or error messages indicated, but it will not respond to initiate a new
ssh connection. With that active ssh connection, if I try to kill kwin_wayland
it will block and not respond.
This is with an Nvidia RTX2080. If I swap that out for a Radeon RX6600, there
are no issues.
Also I found that if I use kscreen-doctor and set the mode of all screens at
once, it works fine only until I try to log out or change any screen mode
again, where it will hang with the same behaviour as described above.
Frustratingly there is no segfault or crash data due to how it locks up.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Install RTX2080 as the only graphics card
2. start plasma wayland session
3. for the 4k screen, set it's refresh rate to 120Hz
OBSERVED RESULT
- system stops responding to keyboard/mouse and all screens are frozen
- `journalctl -f ` from an existing ssh connection doesn't show any errors
- trying to kill kwin_wayland over this ssh connection hangs
- cannot initiate new ssh connection
- If using kscreen-doctor instead of system settings gui, can succeed at
setting the screen to 120Hz, but then the system will lock up in a similar way
if you try to a) log out, b) change a screen mode again.
EXPECTED RESULT
system doesn't hang

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Maybe I can try attaching gdb to kwin_wayland over ssh before the lockup
happens. Let me know if you have any ideas.
