Luke | sounds good - I didn't think I needed it but it has been in my kernel modules for a long enough time that I have forgotten what it is for lmao | 20:27:50 |
Luke | Well, the names of my output targets have changed in xrandr but still at 95Hz | 20:33:22 |

K900 | What does xrandr --list-outputs say? | 20:38:45 |
Luke | That isn't an option? | 20:40:17 |
Luke | But | 20:40:46 |
Luke | $ xrandr --listmonitors
Monitors: 1
0: +DP-3 3840/697x2160/392+0+0 DP-3
$ xrandr --listactivemonitors
Monitors: 1

| 20:41:24 |
K900 | Can you try a Wayland compositor? | 20:41:58 |
K900 | Like Sway or something if you want minimal | 20:42:03 |
Luke | Sure, quickest setup? | 20:42:10 |
K900 | nix-shell -p sway and then sway from a TTY | 20:42:22 |
K900 | Probably | 20:42:24 |
Luke | Will it matter if I run X11 on another TTY at the same time? | 20:43:12 |
K900 | Shouldn't | 20:44:01 |
K900 | Oh yeah also just to confirm | 20:44:07 |
Luke | I can also rebuild with like kde or something if we are concerned | 20:44:17 |
K900 | You're not running this through any docks or extenders or whatever, correct? | 20:44:18 |
K900 | Just DisplayPort cable from the GPU directly to the display? | 20:44:28 |
Luke | Nah, right from the GPU to the monitor | 20:44:29 |
Luke | In reply to @k900:0upti.me
nix-shell -p sway and then sway from a TTY This seems not to have installed any graphical terminal, but just launching sway resulted in 60Hz - need to restart my machine and see if I can automatically launch konsole or something | 20:51:09 |
Luke | Is there a wayland equivalent for xrandr? I really need to update my rice lmao | 20:54:37 |
K900 | swaymsg if you're using Sway | 20:56:18 |
Luke | I used to have a windows 7 dual boot but accidentally nuked my boot partition once when I was drunk and didn't recover the windows section lmao - too bad I can't test it there | 20:56:39 |
Luke | Yeah I need to figure out the simplest way to so this - I think a config swap and rebuild is best? %mod + enter did nothing when I used the nix-shell approach | 20:57:33 |
Luke | K900:

K900 | OK so it's not advertising the >95 Hz modes at all | 21:10:33 |
Luke | Nope, seemingly not | 21:10:43 |
Luke | Perhaps this is somehow a monitor settings issue? | 21:11:25 |
K900 | Possibly | 21:11:28 |
