Set custom refresh rate for display / monitor with Gnome Wayland

Hi

is there a way to overclock / set custom refresh rate for display / monitor with Gnome under Wayland using Intel graphics? I have no idea where to start.

Most what I found on the internet is with Xorg.

Thank you for the help.

Unless gnome has such feature (since it now provides the display server) you could alter the mode on the kernel level.

nb. that this will not allow you to "overclock" the GPU, if you select a mode that outpaces your crtc, you'll simply get a black screen (as w/ X11)

Re: Set custom refresh rate for display / monitor with Gnome Wayland

@DerArcher Did you manage to figure out how to do this in Wayland/Gnome without messing with the mode at the kernel level?
xrandr only shows 60 Hz for my monitor, while my monitor supports 75Hz.
I wonder if this is Wayland related or an xrandr issue.
