I have the problem that xfce scales down to 59.93Hz, how can I solve this so that this is 60Hz? — The whole thing causes minimal screen flickering. System Information below.
Thank for your help.
you can ask me for intel,nvidia and old amd-radeon’s but i’m not familiar with the actual amd-gpu-driver. but it’s obvious that the amd-gpu driver isn’t working properly and some things aren’t installed/working as they should. you should dig inside the driver-installation. as said the 0.07 Hz are a simple fluctuating and do not cause the malfunction.
That ~ means an approximation, not an exact number.
It is common for monitors not to support exact number due to hardware limitations. But that close to 60 can still be interpreted as 60, just like how inxi displays as it is meant for human reading. xrandr, however, is more technical and reads its output from the monitor directly.
Again, this is not something you should worry about and is not the cause of the flickering. I can even set my monitor to 30Hz and there will be no flicker, it will be 30Hz smooth. That EGL not available is more likely to be the problem, so rendering falls back to software, which is slow and can indeed introduce flickering.
My monitor also runs at 59.93Hz (xrandr says 60Hz mode is available but 59.93Hz is the preferred mode). There is no flickering. Your problem is something else, most likely missing OpenGL drivers as others have pointed out. Is mesa even installed?

yes, mesa is installed, I forgot that I use mesa-nonfree on my Stable Linux Box… All fine now.
On the other hand it can be the wire due I use hdmi to DVI as my Monitor have no hdmi.
Just try to reproduce the flickers by touching/moving your adapter, it is most likely the cause of your issues (not really most likely, but it is the most probable thing for now).
