Screen flickering with AMD Video Card and 240 hz monitor
Good day!
I've really tried to search for a decent answer on Linux forums and Bazzite Reddit, but nothing useful was found.
I am using 1440p 240 hz monitor (Samsung Odyssey G6) with AMD 7900 XTX Video card. Each time I am trying to activate HDR, the screen starts flickering (turning black and getting back up again). Sometimes insanely a lot, sometimes less.
Only thing that saves the situation is combination of Adaptive Sync: Always + HDR: On.
What have tried so far:
- different combination of Adaptive Sync and HDR.
- disabling VRR control on monitor
- rebasing to GNOME DE
- using LACT and setting Manual/COMPUTE config
- updating to latest bazzite version
I am using Display Port 1.4 (Samsung's) cable. There is no FreeSync option available in the monitor Menu (OSD). Changing performance/power settings has no good.
At the same time, in Windows and latest Ubuntu with same card, cable, port, there is no issue. Is there any already existing bug on that (I've registered one myself, but no response yet: https://github.com/ublue-os/bazzite/issues/2917)? Is there any possible workaround/solution? (Since the Adaptive Sync Always makes the whole interface laggy, and the screen starts a flickering fast and a lot after launching a game). I'm aiming at Adaptive Sync: Never with HDR for myself.
Thank you in advance!
