I have a problem with Ubuntu 24.04 LTS and VRR activated at 144Hz on my AOC C24G1A 24" monitor. Whenever I play videos in full screen through a web browser, or even when I make the browser full-screen, it shows a black screen with no signal. Two questions: why does this happen? How do I fix the issue? My Flatpak librewolf is set up for screen grabbing, but the default settings have the same problem. The blackout causes a loss of connection, even with apps like Celluloid in fullscreen with Freesync enabled on the monitor. It works temporarily so playback appears, but there are heavy artifacts and micro stutters.

No, it does not occur when VRR is disabled.

It seems there might be a challenge with refresh rates that are too far away, as noted in the GitLab issue. VRR in GNOME is still experimental, so you should anticipate some issues. The best approach right now is likely to keep it turned off.

Thanks, I also can't recall the exact OS versions. It seems you're using Ubuntu 24.04lts with Wayland desktop. No worries about differences.

It's experimental across all shipping versions of GNOME that support the feature. I'm not sure it's experimental in Plasma 6 though. If you're interested, the following distros include Plasma 6 in their releases. KDE Neon on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS is maintained by the KDE team. Fedora KDE Limited Repos uses patent-encumbered codecs with a 6-month release cycle. Immutable Distro features Rolling Release, while OpenSUSE TumbleWeed offers patentee-stripped codecs in a rolling release model. EndeavourOS is KDE's rolling release Arch-based distro, which often needs manual updates. It's more complex compared to other distributions.
