Gnome 44.2 with VRR Support

reddog83 · 06-24-2023, 04:24 PM

Mutter & GNOME Control Center with Dor Askayo's Wayland VRR MR applied.

I am proud to announce that there has been much work done with VRR support and now that the patch's have been rebased, we now have VRR Support in Gnome 44.

The SB's are included within the packages and the patch's have been included within this thread.

I should point out that Gnome 44 is only for Slackware Current

Hi good job, what is this useful to if may I ask ?

This MR adds the logic required to detect monitors that are capable of VRR and the ability to activate it using KMS properties.

It also adds the ability to enable or disable VRR on capable monitors using the DisplayConfig DBus API, and makes this configuration persist via monitors.xml.

Finally, once configured to be enabled, VRR is actually activated on a monitor when a window that supports it covers the entire monitor on the visible workspace, doesn't have any transitions or animations, and isn't covered by any shell UI elements.

Slackware current is the only no systemd distro for Gamers which support Gnome + VRR.
@reddog83: And Slackware for now is the the only distro which support Gnome-44 + VRR ?

Thanks @reddog83 for your explanation. I thought VRR is for Virtual Reality something

Thanks for all this. I was able to fix my Evolution Email display issues by installing gnome44 then reinstalling Evolution.
