Description Steve Vialle 2025-07-04 10:40:28 UTC 
Monitor EDID: 
Display supports continuous frequencies

/sys/kernel/debug/dri/0/DP-3/vrr_range: 
Min: 48
Max: 75

Xorg.0.log:
AMDGPU(0): VariableRefresh: enabled

Real-world test (github.com/Nixola/VRRTest + monitor OSD):
VRR is enabled and working, true monitor refresh rate tracks full-screen test FPS within expected range.

kscreendoctor -o:
Refresh Rate: 74972
Adaptive Sync: incapable

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Set up VRR.
2. Observe "Window Manager" section of "Info Centre".
3. Observe "display configuration" KCM.

OBSERVED RESULT
Info Centre incorrectly states "Adaptive Sync: incapable" 
kscreendoctor incorrectly states "Adaptive Sync: incapable"
No mention of VRR or adaptive sync in display KCM.

EXPECTED RESULT
Plasma acknowledges reality, kscreen-doctor reports accurate information.

We don't support these features on Xorg. We couldn't even if we wanted to, as they're driver specific and require editing configs with root privileges.
