Setting refresh rate above 60hz black screens after reboot

Hi all,

Newbie here, hope all of you are doing well!

I am using a Samsung TV as a monitor and the TV supports refresh rates up to 144hz, although on Linux only up 120hz. I dual boot Windows for gaming and I have no problems there.

The problem is that after setting my refresh rate to anything higher than 60hz on reboot I get black screen. I make my settings using nvidia-settings. Something to note is that after I set my refresh rate to 120 and it works until reboot.

The problem arose after a system upgrade with pacman -Syyu which upgrade nvidia driver to version 530.41.03. On reboot my screen wasn't being detected and after many reinstalls of the entire system trying out different things I couldn't figure it out.

Prior to upgrade to the newest version I was able to use 120hz refresh rate.

After setting my refresh rate to 120hz I have to delete /etc/X11/xorg.conf to be able to get things working again.

Re: Setting refresh rate above 60hz black screens after reboot

I have to delete /etc/X11/xorg.conf

Under no circumstances use nvidia-settings to generate a static server layout and *especially* no in case this is a hybrid graphics system.

Post your xorg log and the output of "xrandr -q".

Re: Setting refresh rate above 60hz black screens after reboot

The output supports 144Hz on 3840x1080 and 3840x1600 but not on 3840x2160

The xorg log is w/

but that configures

so doesn't reflect the troublesome condition.

Also enable modesetting to get access to the edid in /sys/class/drm/card*/edid, https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/NVIDIA … de_setting


Edit: Try /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-nvidia.conf

Is this problem related to Variable Refresh Rate enabled on your TV and/or GPU?

Re: Setting refresh rate above 60hz black screens after reboot

I tried /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-nvidia.conf with

Section "Device"
    Identifier "Default nvidia Device"
    Driver  "nvidia"
    Option "MetaModes" "3840x2160_120 +0+0"
EndSection

And It uses this config but I still black screen on boot. Here is the new log file of Xorg.0.log: https://pastebin.com/FDWbMPNk

There is this ACPI error. I tried using acpid https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/acpid but to no avail.

VRR is disabled on the TV so I don't think that is the issue.

Re: Setting refresh rate above 60hz black screens after reboot

The acpi "error" is normal and irrelevant.

Something to note is that after I set my refresh rate to 120 and it works until reboot.

There's also no obvious problem logged in the X11 server log, so the problem might be w/ your session

Elaborate on "black screen" - is there still a mouse cursor?
Does the Tv complain that there's no signal?
Are there crash reports for your session process(es) in the system journal or https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Core_d … _core_dump
Do you use a compositor?

Re: Setting refresh rate above 60hz black screens after reboot

The "black screen" I mean is that it basically can't find an input from HDMI cable, as if there is not connection - HDMI Cable: No signal is says

Re: Setting refresh rate above 60hz black screens after reboot

Try to blacklist snd_hda_codec_hdmi, https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Kernel … and_line_2
Also post the output of "xrandr -v" and the edid might be useful, too.

Re: Setting refresh rate above 60hz black screens after reboot

I tried blacklisting snd_hda_codec_hdmi but that didn't work as well.

Something that could be useful. The TV has a "Game mode" which on Windows allows to go up to 144hz and without game mode on it can only go up to 60hz. I did however tried both Game mode on and off on Linux but it didn't work.

xrandr -v

Re: Setting refresh rate above 60hz black screens after reboot

"xrandr --verbose", sorry.

The advertised modeline is the cvt1 reduced blanking one, try to add and use

% cvt12 2560 1440 120 -b
# 2560x1440 @ 120.000 Hz Reduced Blank (CVT) field rate 120.000 Hz; hsync: 183.000 kHz; pclk: 483.12 MHz
Modeline "2560x1440_120.00_rb2"  483.12  2560 2568 2600 2640  1440 1511 1519 1525 +hsync -vsync
