[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1939211] [NEW] Screen flickering after upgrading from 5.8 kernel to 5.11 kernel
Public bug reported: Hello! After the upgrade to the 5.8 series kernel to the 5.11 series kernel, I have noticed some screen flickering. I had the same problem previously on Fedora after upgrading to the 5.0 series kernel, but this was not present on Ubuntu 20.04 on either the 5.4 or 5.8 series kernels. On Fedora, it was fixed by turning off panel self-refresh on my Dell XPS 13 9380. I can try that again here if you all think it would be a useful piece of information. In the Fedora bug, it was reported that this problem is fixed in the 5.13 kernel. Let me know whatever else I can do. Thanks!

I am running Ubuntu 19.04 with an XPS 13 9380 with Intel graphics. I installed the kernel mentioned above, and the problem is still occurring. I do a dmesg everytime I see it happen, but I don't see a consistent message every time it happens.
