Package: sddm
Version: 0.15.0-1
Severity: important
Dear Maintainer,
After a recent upgrade sddm login is heavly flickering. it gets a white portion
and then repaint the theme.
The screen stops flickering only after the username and password had
been entered.
No flickering happen after plasma is loaded (KDE screen) , or in
differet VT.
the flickering comes back if a new session is open via plasma that start
sddm login screen on a different VT.
I have tried Maldivians and breeze themes (both have the same issue).
There are reports in Gentoo forms that suggested to have libdrm2.4.80
but I have ibdrm2_2.4.84-2_amd64.deb installed.
extra details :
