  • Thank you, this is good, something new to try since the logs aren’t showing anything amiss. I think we’re on the right track because I did find a forum post of someone looking at pulseaudio causing similar but not identical video issues even though audio is not stuttering.

    The weird lag only happens in the windows of Wine executables. Nothing else is affected even if I leave winecfg or a game open in the background.

    I actually verified the same behavior on a fresh LMDE6 install. I may raise the issue on their forums and look into your suggestions this weekend.

    I have been open to venturing out of stable territory and playing with newer software on this particular machine… so I’m trying EndeavourOS! It also took a lot of fuckery just to make Wine games work in Lutris out-of-the-box, but I learned a bit along the way.












  • This is on a Western Digital Black NVMe SSD.

    On further testing, the problem appears to be GameMode-related, disabling that makes Wine programs run without the lag. However, now Also, attempting to run Wine programs in fullscreen (any resolution) causes the whole system to severely lag and it takes a very long time to Alt-Tab out or Ctrl-Alt-Fkey into a tty session.

    Edit: I forgot that I wanted to clarify that this is not a video playback issue, the lag happens in all Wine windows, even winecfg. I clicked back and forth repeatedly between config tabs and was also able to notice the lag there.

    You should have a display enable/disable switch in LMDE’s “Display” settings GUI, though it shouldn’t be necessary? Please try another (few) cable(s) because they do vary. Anecdote: I’ve heard of Samsungs being picky like this and only refusing to work with that one device you are trying to use.

    Edit: Can your mouse pointer or windows get to the missing screen? Also xrandr -q shows display status.
