The frame rate on the external monitor has dropped.

tav · 2024-11-04 11:41:10

My setup is Wayland, KDE, and a 4060 laptop. When I use the hybrid mode with EnvyControl, the frame rate on the external monitor is only around 60 Hz, even though it is set to 144 Hz.
When I use EnvyControl to switch to discrete GPU-only mode, the system gets stuck at the SDDM login screen and I cannot log in.

Please, I really need the experts' help.

Please don't do that: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Genera … es#Bumping

When did it last work? What did you change in between? There was a bigger nvidia driver update recently that might have lead to this, do the dates of working and not working align with that? Post

kscreen-doctor -o | curl -F 'file=@-' 0x0.st
sudo journalctl -b | curl -F 'file=@-' 0x0.st

and the links you get from those.

About a month ago, switching to the dedicated graphics mode still allowed for normal login.

This might be the crash log of sddm from the last time it was switched to dedicated graphics mode.

I failed to put the PC to sleep. Here is the information about the nvidia-suspend service; I'm not sure if it's useful.

the frame rate on the external monitor is only around 60 Hz

What's that based on?
glxgears output, the monitor OSD or your feelings?

the system gets stuck at the SDDM login screen and I cannot log in

What *exactly* does that mean?
Can you interact w/ SDDM but when logging in you either get kicked back to sddm or log into a black screen?
Or do you get an SDDM output but cannot interact with it (does the mouse cursor move)?
Or is SDDM a black screen?

But please post the complete systmem journal of a boot w/ the sddm failures.

On a formal note, please use [code][/code] tags. Edit your post in this regard.
