Description

Problem Description

Bug Report: 120Hz Refresh Rate Missing at 4K Resolution

System Specifications:
• OS: PikaOS 4
• Kernel: 7.2.2-pikaos (64-bit)
• Desktop Environment: KDE Plasma 6.7.4 (Wayland)
• CPU/iGPU: AMD Ryzen 5 7600X (Radeon Graphics)
• Motherboard: ASRock X670E Steel Legend

The Issue:
My monitor completely supports 4K (3840x2160) at 120Hz, and it works flawlessly at 120Hz on Windows 11. However, in PikaOS under KDE Plasma (Wayland), the maximum available refresh rate at 4K is strictly capped/hidden at 60Hz.

Diagnostic Details (kscreen-doctor -o output):
The system detects the connection via HDMI-A-1. The EDID modes parsed by the driver show 120Hz is only exposed at lower resolutions (1080p and 720p), while 4K is hard-limited to 60Hz:

Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue on PikaOS with KDE Plasma Wayland and inspect the kscreen-doctor -o output for HDMI-A-1 and its EDID modes. The report provides no source file, test, or reproduction steps beyond the environment details; done means determining why 3840x2160 at 120Hz is not exposed and confirming the mode becomes available.
