Secondary Monitor Freezing (kwin_wayland_drm: Pageflip timed out!)

Graphics / Linux Linux

Fedora 41 KDE Plasma 6.3.1
Kernel 6.12.15
GPU 3090
Primary Monitor Dell S2716DG
Secondary ASUS VG248

Intermittent issue with secondary monitor freezing. Moving windows to the primary monitor will still be usable. Most recent issue occured when playing plateup on secondary monitor and discord on primary. Turning off the monitor does not resolve the issue. I have had the same issue when playing path of exile 2 and a youtube video on secondary monitor or discord on secondary monitor but didn’t report it. Goes back to at least Kernel 6.12.11 on Fedora’s release schedule.

Attempting to change resolution causes main monitor to freeze. However, I was able to get around it by pressing alt+f2 and blind typing kwin --replace to get control back. Second monitor remained frozen.

Hi all,

Thank you for the report.

  1. How long does it take to typically reproduce?
  2. Do you also see this issue on our latest 570 drivers - 570.124.04?

There are many reports of this

I’ve only had it happen once though

The problem with the issue is that it can either never happen or happen very frequently. Back when I was playing a lot of Path of Exile I could guarantee it would happen at least once, sometimes multiple times within a 3 hour session.

I haven’t been utilizing the latest drivers so unfortunately I can’t say.

Looks like the same bug that is being tracked here: Display freezing: Assertion Failed. Failed to process POST_EVENT with status 0x57 · Issue #739 · NVIDIA/open-gpu-kernel-modules · GitHub

currently not experiencing the bug anymore after changing my display manager configuration a bit but before that i’d been experiencing the issue right around 13 hours of uptime and not one of my sessions would go past 15 hours of uptime without a screen freezing up
