Version: (using Devel) OS: Linux Installed from: Compiled sources Currently there is an issue with the fact that when DynamicTwinView is enabled in the nvidia driver (it is enabled by default), kwin detects the refresh rate to be 50Hz when in fact the real rate should be 60Hz. According to nvidia this isn't a bug "it's a feature" (apparently needed to support twinview). Since nvidia are obviously inflexible about this situation I hope the kwin devs are more willing to provide a fix. As I'm moving from lots of different screens, disabling DynamicTwinView is a royal pain (kwin detects 60Hz with it disabled). Disabling vsync shoots the framerate 100+ leading to tearing. At 50 frames a second kwin feels laggy and also has tearing. 60 feels nice... What I propose is a way to manually set the refresh rate (like with Compiz) with a slider or with an option in a config file somewhere. Is this possible?
kwriteconfig --file kwinrc --group Compositing --key RefreshRate <value>
neat...this is good enough for me, are any of these options documented somewhere?
It would be great to have this under advanced configuration.
