Fullscreen Apps Don't Obey Refresh Rate With Multi-Monitor

Post by Spirrwell »

Hi there!

Apologies if I should've posted this in hardware, but this is an issue that I have specifically with the Cinnamon desktop environment.

For reference, I'm running the Linux Mint 19.1 Beta, but have had this issue before.

I have two monitors. One is 144Hz (my primary display), the other is 60Hz. When I go to run fullscreen applications (at least games) like Xonotic or Serious Sam Fusion for example, it will tend to always run it at 60Hz unless I disable my secondary monitor. Sometimes I'll get lucky and it will run a game at the proper refresh rate.

I thought maybe it was related to this issue here: https://github.com/linuxmint/Cinnamon/issues/6575

But I don't know. What was suggested there didn't fix my issue.

Any help is appreciated.
