Is there a way for me to limit the framerate of my wayland session, before my window manager is launched? I have to do this, because qtile wayland crashes before reaching my autostart script.
What graphics card are you using? AMD? NVIDIA? And what distro? Version? Wayland version? Desktop Environment? Can you please provide more details?
I know this really isn't the answer you're looking for, but maybe don't use QTile yet? Their documentation states that "some functionality may not yet be implemented". Or revert to X11?
I am on arch, using intel. It doesn't seem to like my 240fps display, since it's fine, when only connected to it, or my other displays, but crashes when connected to my all my displays at once.
What graphics card do you have?
Integrated Graphics i5-1340P
Hold up....
According to the specs on your CPU its max resolution is 4096x2304 @ 120Hz on an integrated flat panel. (Assuming you have a Laptop.)
Otherwise, on the HDMI and DPI output, the limit is 60hz. It can't run at 240Hz. It's like 4 times its max framerate for an external display!
Make sure your Wayland configuration is set up so that all your displays have the same framerate of 60Hz
If you want to have your display work at that framerate, you'll need to get a proper GPU.
Thats what I want to achieve.
Can you be more precise?
I want to force wayland to limit my fps to 60, but don't know how to do it, since wlr-randr doesn't work, because qtile crashes before reaching it in my autostart.sh.
Is Qtile installed alongside another DE? Maybe use the other DE just to configure your Wayland and switch back to Qtile after.
But again, Qtile still has issues with Wayland, so maybe either don't use Qtile or don't use Wayland. Pick one.
