Hello everyone,
I’m reaching out to the community after wrestling with an issue that has proven to be quite stubborn. I’m trying to set up a 24.00Hz refresh rate for 4K content on my JVC X7900 projector connected to an Ubuntu machine with a GeForce 1050Ti via HDMI.
Here’s the challenge: my content is exactly 24.00Hz, but my display seems to be locked at 23.98Hz @ 3840x2160. This slight discrepancy is causing dropped frames on my 24.00Hz content, which is quite noticeable and disruptive.
Here’s what I have attempted so far:
- I’ve set the NVIDIA config to 4K@24Hz, but the display seems to insist on 23.98Hz as reported by
xrandr -q.
Screen 0: minimum 8 x 8, current 3840 x 2160, maximum 32767 x 32767
DVI-D-0 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)

- When I try to add a new mode with
xrandr --newmodeafter generating it withgtforcvt, I receive the following error:
X Error of failed request: BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)
Major opcode of failed request: 140 (RANDR)
Minor opcode of failed request: 18 (RRAddOutputMode)
Serial number of failed request: 35
Current serial number in output stream: 36
- I’ve double-checked the resolution on MacOS and Windows, and it does support 24.00Hz as the resolution I’m aiming for.
- The NVIDIA drivers are up to date, and I’ve looked at the proprietary NVIDIA X Server Settings without finding a solution.
Not sure what else to try. Can you guys give me a hint?
Thanks in advance,
Martin
