Re: Acer GN246HL - Troubles with Linux

I'm still getting a bit of corona/blur in the bottom half of the screen, and cannot seem to find any commands over the ddc protocol, where i may be able to adjust the strobe phasing, which i have heard helps with other monitors having this effect on part of the screen. I'll keep on the look out for...

Re: Acer GN246HL - Troubles with Linux

Hm. This does make testufo run at 120FPS for me, but scrolling is still 60FPS. I've noticed that too. Although figured that most compositors seem to lock most applications at 60fps. For example, if i use KDE5/kwin as the desktop and compositor, firefox seems to scroll at 60fps despite the layout.fr...

Re: Calling 120Hz+ Linux Users: TestUFO Works/Fail?

Hi, just solved a framerate issue i was having in firefox, using a workaround for "layout.frame_rate", setting this to the actual refresh rate allows you to get accurate comparisons of the UFO tests, that can be compared to visual results on a Windows machine. Since setting "layout.frame_rate" to 12...

Re: Acer GN246HL - Troubles with Linux

Small update... i've been web searching all day, and came across a setting for firefox that can eliminate motion blur on a 120hz monitor.... (or any monitor higher than 60hz for that matter). Go to about:config, and enter "layout.frame_rate". Change this to the actual refresh rate of the screen, in ...

Re: Acer GN246HL - Troubles with Linux

KDE with the kwinrc tweak is the only desktop that works for me. XFCE in particular does not offer a way to unlock its frame rate, and Gnome can't render frames fast enough, which leads to a lot of severe frame skipping when you open a window or two. For KDE to work though, you need this in your ~/...

Re: Acer GN246HL - Troubles with Linux

As for the desktop, Gnome doesn't work well at all with >60Hz. Neither does XFCE. The only desktop that does run at 120FPS or higher is KDE, and for it to work it needs an edit in ~/.config/kwinrc. In general, >60Hz displays are a very, very, VERY low priority for the people working on Linux deskto...

Re: Acer GN246HL - Troubles with Linux

If you're using an nvidia GPU, you can use CRU to edit your EDID, export it to a bin file, then use that in Linux. In your nvidia X11 configuation file (like /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/nvidia.conf), in the "Device" section, you need: Option "CustomEDID" "DFP-2:/etc/X11/EDID.bin" Use the correct ID instea...

Acer GN246HL - Troubles with Linux

Hello. I recently purchased an " Acer GN246HL ". It supports up to 144hz, lightboost, and i believe it is a TN LED monitor. I have tried this monitor on various Linux distributions, from Slackware to Linux Mint, and have a repeating problem relating to ghosting/blur. This visual effect is present ev...
