  • Configuration: https://gist.github.com/ycohen-dev/2252b85970834d085a12597980950610

• Description:

  • Multi monitor setup
    • Disabled built-in laptop monitor eDP-1
    • Enabled 4k TV monitor HDMI-A-1 W/O specifing refresh rate
  • When not explicitly specifying refresh rate in output config in a multi-monitor setup, sway chooses diffrent refresh rates in cases of initial loading vs during reload
  • First scenario log shows sway choosing 120Hz on my HDMI output
  • Second scenario log shows the same , but after reload chooses 60Hz
