Bazzite + Asus Xg17ahpe incompatibility
Hello,
I bought this screen especially for playing on Bazzite SteamOS. Moreover screen works under Windows 11 Pro (currently, i got dual boot) and also it worked on ChimeraOS.
Issue:
A) HDMI only: Screen shutters every few mouse movements/clicks and/or keyboard presses, later on evry movement and lastly even without any input.
B) USB-C only: most of times it shows Bazzite pre launch screen logo (with cricle in center bottom) then black screen, sometimes it opens in Desktop Mode with distortions (nevertheless I got Deck & HTPC Version and it shouldn't o to desktop so easily)
C) HDMI & USB-C it depends on what cable is first as primary monitor and behave as above.
Hardware: Miniforum HX99G - Ryzen 9 6900HX (with igpu), Radeon RX6600M, DDR 5 32GB, NVME1 2TB (Bazzite OS Deck & Home Theater PC Edition), NVME2 (Windows 11 Pro)
Screen: ASUS XG17AHPE - 240Hz 17" 1920x1080 portable monitor with speakers. Screen can be connected thru usb-c (as power delivery + video/audio) or thru HDMI (as video/audio) and can work on its own battery for some time or take power from outlet (usb-c) or directly from pc thru second cable.
May i provide any log to solve this asap?

It looks like this on HDMI.
Ans like this on USB-C only
have you tried lower refresh rates? i have never had a 240hz monitor, highest i have had is 155hz (so i know linux supports that at least).
idk about the usb-c issue though
Yes I did I lowered to 144Hz and still same even a little maybe more... To be honest I can't find what makes it to shutter more or less
About usb-c może of time I got black screen
Sometimes I manage to get this kind of distortion
Usb-c can be somehow related to:
USB-c port with it's displayport on it is connected to igpu (possibly somehow in bios it can be changed to redirect thru mux to dgpu (rx6600m) I don't know how does SteamOS feels about using igpu just for screen output and dgpu as for power for gaming.
It would be perfect to use single cable (as in windows) to put video/audio and power to portable monitor.
I've updated a bit issue in top, should I also post it in GitHub ?
i would recommend that as then it will be archived better and also it might also ping some other people depending on how they have set up their notifications. i have not seen this issue before so idk really
also the steamdeck only has an igpu
