I'm using two monitors with AMD Radeon RX570 and Intel onboard graphics on CentOS 8. (My CPU is i3-8100 @ 3.60GHz.)
I have screen tearing on the 2nd monitor which is rendered by Intel onboard graphics when moving a window or watching video.
After googling, I got the information that
PRIME Synchronization
makes the 2nd monitor tear-free. To check it, I ran xrandr --props
. The below output is extracted from it.

To enable PRIME Synchronization
, I ran xrandr --output HDMI-1-1 --set "PRIME Synchronization" 1
. But, after I ran it, the 2nd monitor flicked (maybe it seems to be turned off and on quickly), and then the setting was reset to 0 again.
This situation can only be met after installing AMD linux driver for CentOS 8 v19.30, which is the recent driver at this time. If I don't install it (it means I use the default driver which is included in CentOS 8), screen tearing doesn't occur and PRIME Synchronization
is 1 for the 2nd monitor. But, I should use AMD driver instead of the default driver.
How can I set PRIME Synchronization
to 1? Or how can I find why it cannot be set to 1?
FYI, some information what I know are as below:
