--- Comment #1 from Jonas Ådahl <jadahl at gmail.com> ---
It's currently not possible to affect the refresh rate of the actual drawing.
This is not by design; it's simply not implemented. Making it work involves
updating MetaRendererNative to pass around refresh rates and presentation
timings to ClutterStageCogl, so that it can schedule frames given the actual
refresh rate of the monitor. Currently, it'll just fall back on 60 Hz, which of
course is not good.

Another related issue is that if one monitor is 144 Hz, while another is 60 Hz,
we'd still end up drawing at 60 Hz, as mutter still doesn't support drawing
separate monitor as individual frames.

In other words, making it work with multiple monitors with different refresh
rates is non-trivial, but making it (non 60 Hz refresh rates) work for just a
single monitor is probably not very hard.
