--- Comment #1 from Zamundaaa <[email protected]> ---
The reason for this could be that KWin sets HDR metadata each frame. With
legacy modesetting, setting any properties may cause the driver to do a
pageflip, so if we set the property + then another frame, the driver might end
up pushing two frames instead of one.

There are some workarounds we can consider, like splitting out the code path
for "allow_modeset" in KWin to a separate function, but as no actual legacy
drivers support HDR, maybe the best course of action would be to just remove
the feature from legacy. Looking at drmdb.emersion.fr, the same applies to VRR
as well.

Why are you using legacy in the first place though? It's "legacy" for a reason,
it's not supposed to be used unless your driver doesn't support the proper API.
I've considered ripping out the env var to force it as well...
