https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=418403 --- Comment #15 from slartibar...@gmail.com --- good news... the psr (panel self refresh) disabling fixes the problem!!! Questions: - what changes in kwin/plasma since 5.16.x caused this problem? I mean, according to the solutions i found on the net, the psr was introduced somewhere around kernel 4.x, and this is waaay older than plasma 5.17.x, where this bug occurred the first time on my system? - Now, since the culprit is found, can we do anything to solve the problem without kernel-commandline mangling? New kde/plasma users won't spend so much time on finding solutions to this problem? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=418403 --- Comment #14 from slartibar...@gmail.com --- after looking at similar reports of laptop screen problems i found the advice, to add i915.enable_psr=0 to the kernel-commandline. This seems very promising, i continue testing... -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

Is tlp necessary at all any more? (esp. since fedora31 and following did improve energy saving mechanisms?) -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=418403 --- Comment #11 from slartibar...@gmail.com --- just one more thing (i know, this quote is 'stolen' :-) Something that looks quite similar to my 'blink' event is for example attaching a second monitor to the displayPort (miniDP). There you also get a quick 'reset' or 'blink' (screen goes black for a fraction of a second) when plugging in the connector. This just *looks* the same, i thought i'd mention it to describe the term 'blink' a bit better. I also had this blink when stopping/restarting the compositor with Alt-Shift-F12. But this only happens from time to time, normally the switching here is without blink-effect. And, using the kwin_x11 --replace command caused this effect *sometimes* (e.g. if i do it right now several times, i can only see the compositing effects (windows get shadows for example) or a redraw of the whole desktop contents) - but no 'blink' -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=418403 --- Comment #7 from slartibar...@gmail.com --- i recently captured on 'blink' event (see attached file) In comparison to the other file i have written (unsuccessfully), the only thing standing apart is this line: org.kde.kactivities.lib.core: Killing the consumer When the 'blink' occurred, i replaced kwin again to stop the logging and this is the file in the attachment... Hope this helps? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=418403 --- Comment #6 from Vlad Zahorodnii --- My guess is that a graphics reset occurs from time to time. It would be really helpful if you run `env QT_LOGGING_RULES="*.debug=true" kwin_x11 --replace` and post the output after the screen turned black. You might want to redirect the output to a file and then attach the file here. Before attaching the file make sure that there is no any confidential data in it. Also, it would be useful to have dmesg output after the screen got black. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=418403 --- Comment #4 from slartibar...@gmail.com --- i'm currently testing with KWin-lowlatency, up to now it seems to have stopped the irregular blinking. If this holds true (i continue testing), then maybe we have a bug to report to kwin/composer? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

Still happens on 5.18.4 I already did a fresh install of fc31 on the laptop, assuming it was caused by all those updates coming since fc27.
