Description

Connected external screen with AMD FreeSync Premium and VRR turned on in the hyprland.conf at the misc{ } section. This caused the screen to connect, show something a second, then disconnect, then again connect after some seconds, then again disconnect and so on.

How to reproduce

1. set vrr = 1 in misc{}
2. Connect external monitor with AMD FreeSync Premium through the HDMI port of a laptop.
3. Since I have a laptop with dual GPU, my laptop model renders the HDMI port output using the iGPU and the output of the Type C port using the dGPU. I use a Type C hub with HDMI to connect my other monitor.

Crash reports, logs, images, videos

No response

[vaxerski]

are you sure it's not the other way around? HDMI ports are usually wired to the dGPU.

Have you tried on -git?

[Flexksx]

No, I have a 2021 Asus ROG Strix G513IM, and I discovered that when I was playing games on Windows and saw worse performance when using an external monitor through HDMI. This model does not have a MUX switch.

[vaxerski]

try git then, shit's changed

[Flexksx]

Installed with yay -S hyprland-git, removed older conflicting hyprland and other dependencies. The issue still persists.

[Flexksx]

On hyprland-git, and was unable to get render on the second external monitor via the Type C Hub. It was shown in hyprctl monitors but no output on that monitor was provided. And the light bulb near the power button was lit as if it had not been connected to anything. Installed hyprland from pacman back, which worked. Also VRR on will not cause problems if I connect the external monitor using the Type C Hub HDMI Port. But the problem is still there, if I connect that FreeSync monitor via HDMI with vrr = 1, it will stat bugging as in the video.

[vaxerski]

type c hub... displaylink? That's notoriously buggy on linux.

[Flexksx]

xDD Yeah I know its a pain in the ass, but somehow works

[vaxerski]

see https://github.com/hyprwm/aquamarine/issues/22 then for the black screens. Displaylink is a proprietary, buggy standard on linux, so we don't really fully support it

[Flexksx]

Oh no, you understood me worng. When using DisplayLink to connect the monitor and turn VRR on, everything is OK. When I connect it with HDMI with VRR on, it starts turning black.

[Flexksx]

When connecting via displaylink, it usually turns black, then I reboot, replug the hub and it works. Not the funniest thing to do but it works. I got no problems with it. The problem occurs when connecting with HDMI.

[vaxerski]

on git?

[Flexksx]

Yes

[Flexksx]

On git the display link doesn't work at all, but ignore that. The hdmi with vrr on still bugs

[Flexksx]

Btw noticed something with displaylink. The hub has a hdmi, a type c port for charging and usb ports. When I plug it in with the hdmi and usb ports, it will show a black screen, then I reboot, wait for the system to boot, replug and I get image on my monitor. When I plug it in with the hdmi and usbs AND the charging connected to my type C charger (30W mac charger), the monitor turns on without any problems. And if I unplug the charger, it will disconnect.

Are there any open issues where I can help with that? Thanks

[vaxerski]

on git? IIRC there is an open issue at aq

[Flexksx]

no, didn't try that on git Last time I tried git the hub did not give any output, even after restarts and stuff that makes it work on the base version
