Title:
Broken Nvidia Prime on Lenovo Z70-80 (Nvidia 840m)
Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
New
Bug description:
I’m trying to revive a slightly old Lenovo Z70-80. I haven’t used it
for a month or so. Then, I downloaded all the latest updates a couple
of weeks ago and something broke. The screen looks as if it's tearing
many times per second and some of the middle pixels are repeated on
the edge of the screen. I've never seen it behave like that.
I've had problems with Prime on this machine many times before, so I
followed the usual steps: ensuing that nouveau is blacklisted,
rebuilding the modules, using a custom xorg config, trying out
multiple different driver versions, etc. Nothing helped. I even tried
a complete re-install of Ubuntu, however, that didn’t help (everything
was fine during the install).
I still had an older kernel installed on my machine (5.11.0-16), I
booted into it, built all the modules, etc (it started with Intel
only, I believe). After a reboot back into 5.11.0-16, the Nvidia
drivers started working perfectly. No matter which version. They're
still broken in 5.11.0-25 and the kernel is the only difference.
I've mentioned this on Nvidia forums already, but my post didn't get
any attention there. It contains a few more details, like the Nvidia
debug capture and a video of the craziness on my screen:
