I had to do a reinstall because of the Mesa bug following the instructions [here](https://forum.endeavouros.com/t/nvidia-gpu-users-attention-please-june-2025/72058), but now I’m unable to set the refresh rate on my laptop display to 120Hz. Only 60Hz is available. I used to be able to set the display to 4K (3840x2160) at 120Hz at 200% in KDE Plasma using Wayland. I can still see the option available in the live ISO, but after I install it, it’s gone. I’m using a laptop with hybrid graphics (Intel TigerLake and Nvidia RTX 3060). I’ve tried both nvidia-open and nouveau drivers, both don’t work. ---

I think I found the problem. I think it’s Mesa 25.1.x. When I tried Manjaro, 120Hz works because they are still using Mesa 25.0.5 I don’t want to leave EOS, but I also don’t want to use 60Hz. Maybe I will check back when Mesa updates and see if it fixes the problem. At least I still have EOS on my AMD laptop 👍 Edit: I also discovered that using the LTS kernel also fixes the problem. ---

You do know you can downgrade packages ? If yes i would test that first before marking a solution. ---

@MichelN’s suggestion is something that has fixed `mesa` issues for me in the past. It’s worth trying. ```auto sudo downgrade mesa ``` ---

I tried downgrading, it doesn’t work. [https://forum.endeavouros.com/t/cant-boot-after-new-mesa-update-25-1-3-3-and-chroot-doesnt-fix-it/72360/3](https://forum.endeavouros.com/t/cant-boot-after-new-mesa-update-25-1-3-3-and-chroot-doesnt-fix-it/72360/3) ---

Know that if you install multiple DEs it can cause multiple weird issues/errors and instabilities… (considering you still have Gnome + KDE as reinstall, as from your post its not clear how you did it) I on you end, would try a clean reeinstall, with just 1 DE and try again, maybe it will solve from itself. ---

I installed them on separate partitions with separate accounts, so the the dual boot is not the problem. I did try a clean reinstall with just one DE and it didn’t fix the problem. ---

I just discovered that using the LTS kernel also fixes the problem. I will add this to the solution. ---
