Hello,
I
try to run PTB with AMD Radeon R9 380 "Tonga pro" on Ubuntu
16.04-LTS.
We use high refresh rate display (BenQ Zowie XL2540, 4.5" 16:9 1920 x 1080 TN 240Hz ).
and try to run it at native 240 Hz or at 120Hz.
It really does not matter, in both cases I have en error (below)
It seems that PTD can't estimate monitor refresh interval.
Any help would be very valuable!
Elena

Trouble with VBL syncing?!?
----- ! PTB - ERROR:
SYNCHRONIZATION FAILURE ! ----
One or more
internal checks (see Warnings above) indicate that synchronization
of
Psychtoolbox to the vertical retrace (VBL) is not working on your
setup.
This will seriously impair proper stimulus
presentation and stimulus presentation timing!
Please read 'help
SyncTrouble' for information about how to solve or work-around the
problem.
You can force Psychtoolbox to continue, despite the
severe problems, by adding the command
Screen('Preference',
'SkipSyncTests', 1); at the top of your script, if you really know
what you are doing.
