Refresh Rate Options for Win Mini (2023)

Hi! I don't know if this would be possible, but on the GPD Win Mini (2023) it's possible to get refresh rates of 110, 100, 90, 80 and 70hz working under Windows, but I haven't found any way to get them working under Bazzite. Is there any way I can try to force the option/ it be supported officially?

You can create a custom config

A feature was very recently introduced to gamescope that allows for custom display configuration

But you'll need to pull info out from the Win Mini edid with edid-decode, and modify the config for the Win Mini

And you can place the custom script in

Sorry for the late reply, but thank you so much! Will this actually apply inside of Game Mode to actually let me select more framerate caps?

yes, it's how I tested GPD Win 4 refresh rates

Polar-StarOP•10/15/24, 11:39 PM

That's so sick

P

Polar-StarOP•10/15/24, 11:39 PM

Thank you so much

That was like, my biggest gripe moving over from Windows, so many games can hit 50fps just fine but really struggle getting over the finish line to get a locked 60

you're lucky that this feature was introduced. it's very new

Aru

Aru•10/15/24, 11:41 PM

basically just got released to bazzite stable yesterday

P

Polar-StarOP•10/15/24, 11:41 PM

I consider myself lucky that all of this exists at all!

P

Polar-StarOP•10/15/24, 11:41 PM

The amount of effort everyone puts in to get something like this working absolutely blows me away

P

Polar-StarOP•10/15/24, 11:41 PM

And it fits my needs perfectly

PPolar-Star And it fits my needs *perfectly*

that's probably why most of us are here

Polar-StarOP•10/16/24, 5:33 AM

So.. I tried to do edid-decode

P

Polar-StarOP•10/16/24, 5:33 AM

And my whole machine won't boot now

P

Polar-StarOP•10/16/24, 5:34 AM

I had a friend try and help me

P

Polar-StarOP•10/16/24, 5:41 AM

I couldn't get a custom config working

P

Polar-StarOP•10/16/24, 6:30 AM

So I figured out this only happens when I'm booting plugged into my eGPU, the GPD G1

P

Polar-StarOP•10/16/24, 6:30 AM

On the APU? No problem

P

Polar-StarOP•10/16/24, 6:31 AM

Boots into Game Mode and I can boot back out to desktop

P

Polar-StarOP•10/16/24, 6:31 AM

But uh, this didn't happen before and I still don't want this to happen lol

PPolar-Star So.. I tried to do edid-decode

Edid decode had nothing to do with

Polar-StarOP•10/16/24, 8:39 AM

I don't believe I did anything else that would cause this

P

Polar-StarOP•10/16/24, 8:39 AM

I did that, then rebooted

P

Polar-StarOP•10/16/24, 8:40 AM

I'm not saying you're wrong but I genuinely have no idea how this could've happened

antheas

A

antheas•10/16/24, 8:40 AM

That feature does not work for external monitors yet

antheas

antheas•10/16/24, 8:40 AM

Egpu wors

antheas

A

antheas•10/16/24, 8:40 AM

Woes

P

Polar-StarOP•10/16/24, 8:40 AM

Wait so what caused this to happen then?

P

Polar-StarOP•10/16/24, 8:41 AM

Is there a way I can fix it?

P

Polar-StarOP•10/16/24, 8:41 AM

I can still actually get to my desktop, just don't have it plugged in

P

Polar-StarOP•10/16/24, 8:41 AM

So I'm available to access my system

P

Polar-StarOP•10/16/24, 8:42 AM

I appreciate you answering here

antheas•10/16/24, 8:43 AM

Remove the config file you made first

Polar-StarOP•10/16/24, 8:55 AM

That worked :D

P

Polar-StarOP•10/16/24, 8:55 AM

Thank you very much

P

Polar-StarOP•10/16/24, 8:55 AM

I don't know how we managed to mess up the config so bad

P

Polar-StarOP•10/16/24, 8:55 AM

Unless it just.. doesn't work with eGPUs at all

P

Polar-StarOP•10/16/24, 8:55 AM

That would, really hurt

P

Polar-StarOP•10/16/24, 8:56 AM

Not in terms of functionality but having to turn on and off the config so I could get more refresh rate options in Game Mode

P

Polar-StarOP•10/16/24, 8:56 AM

~~I mean even then the config we threw together still didn't do that, so~~

antheas

A

antheas•10/16/24, 9:03 AM

It doesn't work in external screens period

antheas

A

antheas•10/16/24, 9:03 AM

Right now

antheas•10/16/24, 9:07 AM

Also if the config is wrong it crashes
