Hello again,

My laptop has a native refresh rate of 165Hz, however I cannot seem to access it.

Xorg.0.log seems to recognize it:

xrandr:

I'm also using Intel graphics without any xorg.conf. In the MATE displays app, I only see 60Hz and 120Hz, but even using 120Hz has no effect according to glxgears -- it still says 60Hz.

I'm wondering if it is related to this:
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/drm/intel/-/issues/6324

This laptop has pretty modern hardware which has made the install a bit challenging. When I used to use Gentoo back in 2008-2012, it was easier.

I've "solved" the issue by applying this patch:
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/drm/intel/uploads/1137d451481265e94158494be2eea6f1/intel-panel-alt-modes.patch

This has let me access my native 165Hz refresh rate via
Code:
xrandr -r 165


The patch may not work for everyone, but it is worth a shot.
