I have been developing and testing my GTK app (Zrythm) on many distros and Guix is the only case that the monitor's refresh rate is returned as 0. The API I am using is this: https://developer.gnome.org/gdk3/stable/GdkMonitor.html#gdk-monitor-get-refresh-rate I was developing/testing on Parabola GNU/Linux-libre before and it was giving me a correct rate of 60 Hz. Other distros I have tested this API before on: Various ubuntu versions, debian 9 and 10, manjaro (arch), various fedora versions, plus a few others that users tested on. I suspect GDK is trying to access something that guix doesn't make available to it, but I don't have much knowledge of the internals of GDK or Guix to debug this myself. I will post a package from my guix channel that you can test this on soon. To call the API, one basically calls the following, after including , so any GTK program will do. ``` GdkDisplay * display = gdk_display_get_default (); GdkMonitor * monitor = gdk_display_get_primary_monitor (display); int refresh_rate = gdk_monitor_get_refresh_rate (monitor); ```
