Linux Mint Mate 22.1 Screen Tearing and Panel Jumping [Solved]

[Alexzee]

This screen tearing and the panel jumping has been going on for a while.
Just haven't had the time to try to fix it.

I created a .xprofile file in the root of your home directory and gave it the "TearFree" on argument.

xrandr --output HDMI-A-0 --set TearFree on

Upon reboot no dice.

Then I created a 20-amdgpu.conf with the arguments below and moved it to the /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d.

Section "OutputClass"
     Identifier "AMD"
     MatchDriver "amdgpu"
     Driver "amdgpu"
EndSection

Rebooted and still no dice.

According to the xrandr cmd my Gigabyte monitor is 1920x1080 and it's set to the 165 Hertz setting.

:~$ xrandr
Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1920 x 1080, maximum 16384 x 16384
DisplayPort-0 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
HDMI-A-0 connected primary 1920x1080+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 597mm x 336mm
   1920x1080     60.00 + 170.00   165.00*  144.00   120.00   100.00   119.88

AMDGPU - ArchWiki

Does anyone have any ideas on what I can do to fix this?

Have you tried slowing down the refresh rate?

Have you tried slowing down the refresh rate?

Just opened Display and changed it to 60 hertz worked like the first sip of a cold beer!

Same problem in my Debian 12 install so I'll try the same and see what happens.

Thanks guys.

Just booted into Debian 12 and changed the refresh rate.
60HZ's is the cure!

xrandr
Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1920 x 1080, maximum 16384 x 16384
DisplayPort-0 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
HDMI-A-0 connected primary 1920x1080+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 597mm x 336mm
   1920x1080     60.00*+ 170.00   165.00   144.00   120.00   100.00   119.88

Both DE's are doing well now. No more jumping and screen tearing.
Now, back to work.
