Hi, I'm working with your hub and its display. You're having trouble getting the Steam Deck to show 1920x1200 at 120Hz, but it works fine with 2560x1440 at 120Hz. When you set the output to native resolution at 120Hz, it seems to function properly, though the screen sometimes powers off or enters sleep mode. I noticed that trying 1920x1080 only gives 60 and 50Hz, but 144Hz worked on another display. Could you explain why this behavior occurs? What changes should be made so the hub can output at 1920x1200 with the desired refresh rate? Thanks!

I attempted to link directly to the display via USB-C from the Deck, and while the screen supports setting the native refresh rate at 120 Hz, I can't adjust it for other resolutions. Could there be a problem with Linux or SteamOS that blocks higher refresh rates on non-native settings?
