Support for HDMI 2.1 FRL (Fixed Rate Link) for AMD graphic driver is in kernel 7.2. https://www.computerbase.de/news/betriebssysteme/linux-kernel-7-2-umfangreicher-als-ich-mir-gewuenscht-habe-sagt-linus-torvalds.98890/ https://www.techpowerup.com/348723/amd-readies-full-open-source-hdmi-2-1-support-for-linux VRR & ALLM seem to be missing. So the question is: when will Suse TW get this kernel 7.2? BR
