I have the same view, but the truth is most people gave up on computers long ago. No. Let us talk numbers! The world population = 7.8 Billion Less than 35 percentage of world population are internet users = 2.73 Billion Out of that Mobile Users = 41.58% (Android) + 16.58% (IOS) = 58.16% The remaini...

Amazing effort. This is gold! Good work.

Just curious but was time shift an option for you or did that not work either? I am a bit nervous becaus e I am about to upgrade Nvidia as well

I am going to call this a win, albeit in a round about sort of way. I am excited to hear the upcoming new version addresses this. Thank to @Roblm for all the help. I'm very grateful.

Can you swap monitors via the Display app?

After deleting monitors.xml file again and running Display and saving it now states correct refresh rate in both monitors.xml file as well as nvidia settings!

I'm going to have to read the blog more often. All in all this would make things so much easier.

The Nvidia settings already state correct resolution and rate (165hz).


...strange

In the nvidia settings app it is showing g-sync enabled. Per haps if I turn of Intel GPU in the BIOS? Quite frankly the only reason I have it set to auto or both is in case i need to boot to live usb. For some reason when Nvidia GPU only is selected in bios it will not even boot to live usb.

Yes, I have done that in Nvidia settings but when I do my laptop screen goes black until i reboot. Weird eh?

It does work, at least it appears to work. I just do not know why I cannot use the Nvidia settings (control panel). For example how can I ensure G-sync is actually working etc.

Frustrating...

Thank you for all your help

Currently I am changing it in terminal with: But of course that is only per session and not permanent, but it does not black out laptop screen

This is what Nvidia Settings look like:

If I had a wish list for next version of Mint it would be to include a GUI Display settings app like other distros that you could select your individual monitor resolution and refresh rate setting and have them be persistent at reboot.

Did everything. I have option of 165hz in Nvidia settings. Problem is when I select it the second monitor DOES go to that rate (ASUS PG279Q has setting that shows rate) but at the same time my laptop screen (natively 1920x1080 144hz goes black. Then when I reboot both come back up fine but ASUS moni...
