Hey,
I want to enable AMD FreeSync but I have the following problems.
When I create the file “/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-amdgpu.conf” and place the following lines in there:
Section “OutputClass”
Identifier “AMD”
MatchDriver “amdgpu”
Driver “amdgpu”
Option “VariableRefresh” “true”
EndSection
Then, after a reboot and running this command “systool -vm amdgpu | grep free”
The output is the following:
freesync_video = “0”
How can I enable FreeSync?
Thanks for your help 
Is your screen capable of VRR?
xrandr --props | less
There should be vrr_capable: 1 be printed.
No, but at windows, my it’s working fine with FreeSync, my monitor supports FreeSync.
If your screen is not capable of VRR aka Freesync, then I doubt it works on Windows. Even if you activate it in the settings, it will not work until the screen can work with it.
Please add:
inxi -Gazy
And maybe the decoded edid file:
pamac build edid-decode-git
find -L /sys/class/drm/ -maxdepth 2 -type f -iname "*edid" -exec edid-decode "{}" \; 2>/dev/null
Also check if your monitor is in that list: https://www.amd.com/en/products/freesync-monitors
I’m using GNOME with Wayland, after installing mutter-vrr it’s working fine.
I have one more general question about the Linux topic.
I have jaa now installed mother-vrr via yay (aur), if I update my manjaro to 23.0 or to a new version, does that change again?
Alright. At least you figured it out yourself that wayland is not xorg.
mutter-vrr replaces a system package mutter. So yes, you could get problems on updates.
What’s so bad to use GNOME with Wayland?
When I go back to “mutter” it will update automaticially on MKanjaro updates?
There is nothing bad, and that was not what I was saying.
Yes in general. Just be careful with AUR, especially when it replaces system packages.
