issue with my monitor

[ImGabo1]

I have cachy os with hyprland and caelestia shell in a laptop asus rog g16 with an i7 13650hx, a rtx 4060 and monitor 1920x1200 165hz. the issue is when i want to config in hyprland.conf the 165hz not works, I'm running 60hz and the command is this:

monitor = eDP-1, 1920x1200@165,0x0, 1.25

the same form still running in 60hz but if I write:

monitor = , 1920x1200@165, 0x0 ,1.25

I can watch 165hz but the keybinds not work and I can't use the system, I try a solution in this forum and i wrote this:

exec-once = env QSG_RENDER_LOOP=threaded QT_QUICK_CONTINUOUS_UPDATE=1 caelestia shell -d

in /.local/share/caelestia/hyprland/execs.conf

And still without work, what can i do? I have the nvidia drivers ( cachy os default) and I don't understand why nothing works

### Automatically change Hyprland refresh rate based on power profile

I faced the same monitor refresh rate issue in Hyprland.
My workaround was to leave the monitor config as preferred, auto and use a script that changes the refresh rate dynamically based on the active power profile.

Power Saver → 60 Hz

Balanced / Performance → 180 Hz

This avoids hard-locking the refresh rate in hyprland.conf.

1.Requirements

Make sure you have these installed:

sudo pacman -S power-profiles-daemon python-gobject

Important:
My monitor name is eDP-2.
Yours may be different.
Find it using:

hyprctl monitors

Replace eDP-2 everywhere with your actual monitor name.

2. Create refresh-rate switch script
mkdir -p ~/.local/bin
nano ~/.local/bin/hypr-refresh.sh

Paste this:

#!/bin/bash

PROFILE=$(powerprofilesctl get)

if [ "$PROFILE" = "power-saver" ]; then
hyprctl keyword monitor "eDP-2,1920x1200@60,0x0,1"
else
hyprctl keyword monitor "eDP-2,1920x1200@180,0x0,1"
fi

Make it executable:

chmod +x ~/.local/bin/hypr-refresh.sh

3. Create systemd user service

mkdir -p ~/.config/systemd/user
nano ~/.config/systemd/user/hypr-refresh.service

paste this:

[Unit]
Description=Update Hyprland refresh rate

[Service]
Type=oneshot
ExecStart=%h/.local/bin/hypr-refresh.sh

4. Create systemd path unit (watch power profile changes)

nano ~/.config/systemd/user/hypr-refresh.path

paste this

[Unit]
Description=Watch power profile changes

[Path]
PathChanged=/var/lib/power-profiles-daemon/state.ini

[Install]
WantedBy=default.target

5 .Enable the watcher

systemctl --user daemon-reload
systemctl --user enable --now hypr-refresh.path

6. Update Hyprland monitor config

nano ~/.config/hypr/hyprland.conf

Set your monitor config to:

(This is a comment and github highlighted it as title. use # at beginning to mark as comment ) Default monitor config
monitor = , preferred, auto, 1

(This is a comment and github highlighted it as title. use # at beginning to mark as comment ) Apply refresh rate on startup
exec-once = ~/.local/bin/hypr-refresh.sh

7. Test it

Check current profile:

powerprofilesctl get

Switch profiles and confirm refresh rate changes:
change from power menu or from these commands. both works

powerprofilesctl set power-saver
powerprofilesctl set balanced
powerprofilesctl set performance

Alright, thanks I'll try it
