All, When I switched to using modesetting the tearing issue went away; however the display was a little grainy and there was a lot of "lag" in the video when doing things like moving a window (like when I used to use Window 3.1.1 on my 286 6MHz beast of a machine). I changed the driver to intel

While wrestling with another problem that my custom kernel has that GENERIC doesn't, I double-checked the Xorg/intel behavior while running GENERIC. The behavior is the same: the intel driver with "TearFree" on with or without "AccelMethod" "SNA" is only marginally improved but still doesn't draw

I suppose as an outlier data point, the intel driver works fine on an ancient i82810e-based system with no DRM/KMS nor UMS at all. The machine does need an "xorg.conf", but only to define the limits of the CRT monitor--no "Device" section. I did have to tweak the "Display" subsection to keep it

I think it's the kernel too. I have a reduced way of reproducing it. env LIBGL_ALWAYS_SOFTWARE=1 glmark2 (from pkgsrc) will be visibly corrupt. env LIBGL_ALWAYS_SOFTWARE=1 ktruss -i glmark2 > /dev/null or a second glmark2 instance seemed to make it go away. I think this difference means it

With these two settings now kdm, xdm and slim work as expected; previously the username and the password echo did not show properly. Now my Intel graphics works rather well. I get hangs only when I run some of the xscreensaver demos in full screen mode, rendering the mouse/keyboard unresponsive -

Update: Using "modesetting" did clear up the issue. Keeping the Driver as "intel" and setting "TearFree" to "true" with "AccelMethod" set to "sna" also worked. Not sure how this email group looks on adding links to emails. I found some info on TearFree and sna on askubuntu and the Archlinux

Please don't be so quick reverting the Intel driver. With today's build my laptop is working very well, I have no visible effects, glmark2 executes as expected with the exception of the crash upon exit, Kde4 was previously crashing on testing the gl capability, now everything works. Great work, in

i am fairly sure the new display glitches you are seeing are related to the newer xf86-video-intel driver. can people who are seeing issues not related to GL/Mesa try forcing the "modesetting" driver instead? see if that makes things go away? i am probably going to revert the driver in -current

I have on occasion similar behaviour on my HP Envy laptop using the 530 graphics, it is rather weird. I also get the messages about not being able to load the two microcode files, even if I have placed them in the right location. On Thu, 11 Apr 2019 at 21:31, Ron Georgia wrote: > > My monitor is

My monitor is acting a little funky. When I call up something like wireshark or firefox and start scrolling the content inside the active window looks like a satellite TV during a storm. When the window repaints it is choppy (albeit colorful). If I let it sit long enough it settles out. This
