Research direction

Start by reviewing the attached report logs and config.plist, then trace the display refresh-rate switching and hot-swap entry points in the driver. Compare the single-screen and dual-screen reports to identify the flicker and lag conditions; done means refresh-rate changes work without flickering and playback remains smooth after reboot.

Here is logs. Wish to help improve. I try single and dual screen both have problem, and hot swapping isn't working. After switch rate the screen start flickering, and then switch color profile can stop flickering,but the rate still 60hz. After reboot, the rate is 120hz but it lags a lot when there are things like animated videos.
