I wouldn't expect the setting to be remembered across reboots, but it is a setting on the graphics card, so maybe it is remembered?... Also, I don't think "off" is a default that we should ever aim for. Upstream would probably reject that because for many types of monitor "off" will look worse.

Alright, got the computer to reboot a second time and it appears as if the problem is fixed! The gradient on the login screen isn't a perfect gradient, but that's a different issue. Maybe dithering should be forced "off" in a near future update? On Sun, Apr 7, 2019, 10:00 PM Daniel van Vugt

Upon doing the first command you suggested, after a reboot, the PC screen turned on and off a few times and now the screen is just black. I'm force-rebooting the PC now and seeing if I'll regain the image on my screen. On Sun, Apr 7, 2019, 10:00 PM Daniel van Vugt wrote: > That's good news. > >

That's good news. Now please try these while the image is open: xrandr --output DVI-I-1 --set "dithering mode" "off" or xrandr --output DVI-I-1 --set "dithering mode" "static 2x2" and change 'DVI-I-1' if you are using a different connector now. ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu)

I don't have these problems with Windows on the device, either. I really hope a fix gets implemented. Thank you. On Tue, Apr 2, 2019, 10:45 PM Daniel van Vugt wrote: > Thanks for the animation. > > I think that flicker is occurring in the LCD itself. The reason is that > the old gradient (which

Those properties are unique to the nouveau kernel driver... https://01.org/linuxgraphics/gfx-docs/drm/drm-kms-properties.html -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1819023

But before any fix is attempted we should probably verify the problem really is that "auto" is defaulting to "dynamic 2x2" and that's what looks too flickery. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu.

2019-04-03 Thread Daniel van Vugt
I thought of that and don't think it's similar. The problem here sounds like nouveau is using some rather dynamic dithering ("dynamic 2x2"??) and it would look better if more static. Even if that means more banding. So nouveau seems to correctly know it should use dithering. The only remaining

Thanks for the animation. I think that flicker is occurring in the LCD itself. The reason is that the old gradient (which was only used in Ubuntu 18.10) covers more colours than 24-bit RGB can support. On top of that, if your monitor is only 18-bit RGB in hardware then you will see even fewer
