Hi!
I’m currently on Manjaro KDE and it’s working well on my device except the two things I mentioned in the title, brightness control and the 165hz display. I’ve looked through all the proposed solutions on this forum as well as other forums but nothing seems to help.
The brightness control key itself is working but neither that or the brightness slider in the Battery and Brightness menu are actually changing the brightness, so it’s just locked on 100%.
The laptop has a 165hz display which refresh rate is not an available option in the settings and xrandr doesn’t see it as a possible rate either.
Output of xrandr:

As the output shows there is no 165hz option. The laptop works with an AMD Ryzen 7 5800H Zen3 CPU and the corresponding iGPU plus an NVIDIA RTX 3060. As I’m using the computer for coding mostly I don’t really need the nvidia gpu so if any solution includes using only the amdgpu that would be totally fine. Does anyone know how to fix any of the issues?
