I have a fresh install of the Garuda Dragonized edition, and I am having an issue with my Desktop, everything else works flawlessly and it is a treat to look at.
There is a tear in the windows of the system around the 1080p mark so one third of the screen from the bottom seems to missalign with the top while draging , scrolling and video playback, the monitor question is a 1440p ultrawide dell monitor.
I would love to show it through screenshots but the issue is not captured by the tool.
Naturally I though this is an issue of my Monitor, which is brand new 2 days old, and DOA issues are always a possiblity.
Following that i boot into windows and all is fine, no tear no graphical issue.
The install of the Garuda OS is fresh, only thing I did so far, is install the archer tu2 plus drivers
and apps through the garuda assistant.
Can anyone help ? I am also unsure what I am supposed to post from terminal that would be relevant ot your issue. But here is the specifications
Garuda (and Arch generally) has been pretty good for me when it comes to automatically dealing with screen tear, but if you're having problems it might be worth checking out the following: AMDGPU - ArchWiki
Thank you for your reply. Below the output for checking purposes.
I think, i solved the issue, it was of course something tiny and a stupid oversight on my part.
The display config has defaulted to 60HZ instead of 144hz. Reconfiguring the screen at 120 hz seem to have resolved the issue.
I was confused mainly because the tear happened always, only and consistently along the same line, the aforementioned 1080p line counted from above.
Reading through the inxi -Faz File i see the driver is for 6800/xt series gpu, while my gpu is sthe 6700XT I doubt it might affect the system as I presume the drivers are always made for the top of the line and below instead of per gpu basis.
you can check screen tear properly on https://www.vsynctester.com/
also you can check your refresh rate https://www.displayhz.com/ (might not work with firefox and derivatives)
these will help you making sure your display is fixed.
