Hello there, (sry for my english - my native language is german)
i’m a noob to this Forum and searched a lot about my problem on the internets, like 2 weeks now, but since i’m not sure about the real reasons behind it, it’s really difficult, and I’m running out of mental energy at this point.
I run a dual monitor setup, AMD gpu (all specs in the inxi output), Fedora 38, so Gnome 44.5 (Mutter, Wayland).
In the video you can see the Problem, every time there is a mouse interaction with specific GUI Elements, horizontal “Glitches (Tearing?)” appears on both screens.
The Effect appears a lot more when windows overlap (hover above each other). But also when Apps are full-screen.
Sometimes I can work like normal, it seems to stabilize over time, but certain things are starting it again.
Yesterday I did some more stress-testing with Apps, hovering more of them above each other, and suddenly both screens turned black (missing signal) and the fans of my PC got louder. Only Solution was to hardware-restart.
Things i tried or think are worth mentioning:
- I tried Debian, Debian Testing, EndeavorOS, ArctixArch, Ubuntu, Fedora 38 all with the same problem.
- it appeared on Gnome 44, 44.5, Gnome with X11(Xorg), Regolith-Desktop (i3wm), Qtile, Awesome, Plasma, Plasma with X11.
- different Kernels in these Distros let me guess that the Kernel is not the problem.
- in the inxi-output the driver for my Radeon R390X is set to “radeon” not “amdGPU”.
the refreshrate of one monitor is set as 59.95hz, in windows (everything works fine and stable here) the Monitor is set to 60 hz. - I tried many hours to change the set a custom refreshrate (so that both monitors run at the same hz) but could not find a way to do this in Mutter (also read that this is not meant to be done in Mutter)
- I switched the inputs (DP, HDMI) of both monitors - no effect.
- maybe the mouse is the problem (different refresh rate then monitors?)
- it was not possible to record the “glitch” with a screen recording Software, the “Tearing” appeared on my screen, but they were not present in the video at all when watching it afterwards.
Inxi-output is from Fedora 38:
