[SOLVED] xrandr: Configure crtc 0 failed when setting refresh rate
I have a Alienware m15 R6 with RTX 3070. The builtin monitor is a 1080p 165hz panel.
The native refresh rate is not detected what so ever. Not from GNOME Settings, neither from xrandr output

Re: [SOLVED] xrandr: Configure crtc 0 failed when setting refresh rate
This recently shows up a lot, so I'm not sure this will help but since the naive 1080p/165Hz is at 525.00 MHz and the EDID offers a modeline at 401.21 MHz you could try
cvt12 1920 1080 165 -b
# 1920x1080 @ 165.000 Hz Reduced Blank (CVT) field rate 165.000 Hz; hsync: 192.885 kHz; pclk: 385.77 MHz
Modeline "1920x1080_165.00_rb2" 385.77 1920 1928 1960 2000 1080 1155 1163 1169 +hsync -vsyncwhich is well below the advertised pclk and matches hsync and polarity.

Re: [SOLVED] xrandr: Configure crtc 0 failed when setting refresh rate
Unfortunately same problem.
I found a Arch Wiki page about my device that states "no workaround"
https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Alienware_M15_R6
Is that something that will eventually be fixed in the kernel? Whose fault is this?

Re: [SOLVED] xrandr: Configure crtc 0 failed when setting refresh rate
nvidia or alienware (driver bug resp. modified GPU requiring specific driver for the device - which alienware will only provide for windows)
Do you have a 160Hz mode by default?
https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Alienw … resh_Rates seems different? The output configured at 165Hz but glxgears capped on 60fps on gnome is/was a gnome thing, https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/issues/1430

Re: [SOLVED] xrandr: Configure crtc 0 failed when setting refresh rate
I posted the output for `xrandr --verbose` above. Apparently no default 165hz mode, only 1080p 60hz.
My output is indeed different from the Wiki article.
Its a fresh install of Arch with GNOME, nvidia, linux-firmware and linux-headers packages installed

Re: [SOLVED] xrandr: Configure crtc 0 failed when setting refresh rate
And actually seems an optimus system - so nvidia should be off the hook…
Can you please post the entire Xorg log, https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Xorg#General
You could also try the xf86-video-intel driver - or alternatively, if possible, disable the intel chip in the BIOS.

Re: [SOLVED] xrandr: Configure crtc 0 failed when setting refresh rate
Hey it actually worked! I entered the BIOS and disabled switchable graphics in the BIOS video settings, which means disabling Intel UHD.
Logged in to Linux and the 165hz mode was fully detected, just went to GNOME settings and switched.

Re: [SOLVED] xrandr: Configure crtc 0 failed when setting refresh rate
So the blame is with intel ;-)
I'm not sure though whether the IGP is actually capable of producing that signal (equivalent to 5280x2970 @60Hz)
Check an old journal or the notebooks manual for the actual IGP chip.
Please always remember to mark resolved threads by editing your initial posts subject - so others will know that there's no task left, but maybe a solution to find.
Thanks.
