Hello Everyone,
I installed Arch Linux a couple of weeks ago, and everything went great.
I'm running ML4W and Hyprland, and I'm loving it so far.
The only issue I have is that my screen disconnects when I launch a game and am in the menu. It goes black for a few seconds, then comes back to life and seems to work fine except when it does that again.
First I have the following hardware configuration:
• AMD 7900 GRE
• Ryzen 5700X3D
• Dual screen setup: One monitor is 2560x1440@144Hz, the second one is 1680x1050@59Hz.
This happens only on the 2560x1440 monitor. If I unplug the 1680x1050 one, it seems to work great.
I read the wiki and followed the "Set kernel module parameters" section since I have a 7000 AMD card, but it didn’t make any difference.
After some investigation, I noticed the same issue occurs in VLC. My guess is that it’s related to hardware acceleration.
I checked both VA-API and VDPAU and followed the verification steps from the wiki. VDPAU wasn’t set up correctly (and just returned an error), so I did the following:
LIBVA_DRIVER_NAME=radeonsi
VDPAU_DRIVER=radeonsi
The output for VA-API: https://pastebin.com/TZBsZjbH
And for VDPAU: https://pastebin.com/DiPUZ8z4
However, this did not resolve the issue (except for VDPAU returning something with vdpauinfo).
My ML4W monitor config file is :
monitor = HDMI-A-1, 2560x1440@144.00, 0x0, 1
monitor = HDMI-A-2, preferred, 2560x195, 1
and hyprctl monitors all return : https://pastebin.com/HpiqWbsG
The strange thing is when I unplugged one monitor it’s working great (same if I setup both monitor at 1080p).
I’m running out of ideas, so I’m turning to you for some guidance.
I hope my post is well-written and follows the rules of this forum, as this is my first time posting here.
Thanks in advance!

For anyone facing the same issue: I finally solved it on a fresh install with Arch / Hyperland only (no ML4W same problem anyway). The fix was plugging my main monitor via DisplayPort at 144 Hz the second one’s still on HDMI.
VRR is still set to false, and I didn’t change anything related to VDPAU or VA-API.
Hope this helps, since apparently no one had the damn answer or bothered to post anything to help a noob (chatgpt did a better job than this crap forum)
