My monitor keeps blacking out when i change my refresh rate

kind carbon Apr 5, 2025, 2:23 AM

#

Either the display is being pushed to a refresh rate it doesn't support, or there's a mismatch between what your GPU is sending and what the monitor can handle.

If I were you, I'd rather not.

wintry egret Apr 5, 2025, 2:24 AM

#

But

#

Like with windows it worked

kind carbon Apr 5, 2025, 2:24 AM

#

Or either some intermediary is at fault... say a docking station or your cable.

wintry egret Apr 5, 2025, 2:24 AM

#

Ph wait probbably my gpu driver arent installed??

kind carbon Apr 5, 2025, 2:25 AM

#

Please send the output of inxi -Gxxx.

#

And glxinfo | grep renderer.

wintry egret Apr 5, 2025, 2:26 AM

#

2 mins intalling the gpu drivers

#

They werent installed

kind carbon Apr 5, 2025, 2:28 AM

#

How did you go through that?

wintry egret Apr 5, 2025, 2:31 AM

#

It worked the drivers werent installed

wintry egret Apr 5, 2025, 2:32 AM

#

kind carbon How did you go through that?

Umm the driver manager

#

Does the driver manager give the latest drivers of nvidia??

kind carbon Apr 5, 2025, 2:34 AM

#

That should suffice. The latest may be rather unreliable just yet.

wintry egret Apr 5, 2025, 2:34 AM

#

K

kind carbon Apr 5, 2025, 2:34 AM

#

So, is it fine now?

wintry egret Apr 5, 2025, 2:34 AM

#

Yeah

#

And can i install multiple apps at the same time

#

From software managarer

kind carbon Apr 5, 2025, 2:36 AM

#

Cool. Before you mark this thread as solved, can you please send me the output of glxinfo | grep renderer?

wintry egret Apr 5, 2025, 2:37 AM

#

K what does that do though?

agile zenith Apr 5, 2025, 2:38 AM

#

it searches for instances of the string "renderer" among your drivers(right?) and displays them in a list

wintry egret Apr 5, 2025, 2:39 AM

#

K 2 mins

agile zenith Apr 5, 2025, 2:39 AM

#

should look something like this (I cut out the part with my name)

wintry egret Apr 5, 2025, 2:41 AM

#

#

kind carbon Apr 5, 2025, 2:42 AM

#

Just to be clear, you're using an AMD Radeon graphics device?

wintry egret Apr 5, 2025, 2:42 AM

#

#

#

kind carbon Apr 5, 2025, 2:44 AM

#

Try running sudo prime-select nvidia.

wintry egret Apr 5, 2025, 2:44 AM

#

kind carbon Apr 5, 2025, 2:45 AM

#

Have you restarted after installing your drivers?

wintry egret Apr 5, 2025, 2:45 AM

#

#

kind carbon Apr 5, 2025, 2:46 AM

#

Okay cool, nope.

#

Try running glxinfo | grep renderer again.

wintry egret Apr 5, 2025, 2:46 AM

#

wintry egret Apr 5, 2025, 2:50 AM

kind carbon Apr 5, 2025, 2:51 AM
