Re: Display flickers after upgrade to 6.6
Yes, I have customized xorg.conf via /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/intel.conf : Section "Device" Identifier "drm0" Driver "intel" Option "TearFree" "true" EndSection I checked /var/log/Xorg.0.log, "intel" driver works without errors. Unfortunately I did not solve the problem modifying this configuration file. P.S. The https://man.openbsd.org/intel page mentions "XV_SYNC_TO_VBLANK". Even if it might be solution, actually I m not sure I can set this attribute.

Thanks, my mistake, ShadowPrimary is a glamor-only option; this is clear from the radeon (4) man page; I believe I toggled this prior to switching to EXA in the hope that it would fix the corruption seen when I had previously toggled "SWcursor" in order to fix the mouse cursor vanishing when over certain widgets; this didn't help in my case (radeon/aruba/xfce). If anyone wants to try the changes I suggested, they can surely leave out the ShadowPrimary option. Toggling SwapbuffersWait and EnablePageFlip (to "off") was an attempt to eliminate some remaining 'rarely' flicker seen; it *seemed* to help, but I haven't spent a lot of time investigating, my goal was to get the machine usable again. The idea behind "EnablePageFlip" to "off" is that it seemed to look like graphic content was being rendered for some windows/widgets on one backbuffer but not on the other (again, I'm only speculating, as I don't know what's really going on under the hood), so that the content 'flickers' when page flipping is happening. This *could* be the result of a render operation succeeding for one back-buffer and failing for another; I don't really know. The idea behind "SwapbuffersWait" to "off" falls in the random guess category. I think one would expect to maybe see some tearing for GL applications if this option wasn't working correctly; but, I could also see how a fault here could lead to flickering (depending on the implementation), but is probably unlikely. I think changing this option may also have no effect. P.S. / Aside: For anyone experiencing graphics issues after installing 6.6, it might be a good idea to ensure that, if needed: machdep.allowaperture is set to the correct value (see: man xf86) for your system (and please be aware of the security implications of changing this value). regards, Jeff
Re: Display flickers after upgrade to 6.6
I can confirm that switching to EXA made GNOME usable. This'll only work up to Northern Islands cards/IGPs though.

Re: Display flickers after upgrade to 6.6
I haven't tried those settings yet (in my case GNOME Shell and Xfdashboard cause the display to corrupt and seize up except the cursor) but ShadowPrimary is a glamor option that should be irrelevant if EXA is used. For years I've also observed text flickering in the console after drm is loaded, but in 6.5 and prior 3D-accelerated stuff was usable. Cayman should be fine with 8 million pixels. -- Patrick Harper paia...@fastmail.com On Wed, 30 Oct 2019, at 13:12, Jeff wrote: > On Sat, 19 Oct 2019 17:59:41 +0200 > Federico Giannici wrote: > > > On 2019-10-19 16:17, Andre Stoebe wrote: > > > Hi, > > > > > > I ran into the same issue this morning.

My workaround (which was based on 'try stuff to see what works') involved turning off compositing and (via xorg.conf.d): ... Option "AccelMethod" "EXA" Option "ShadowPrimary" "on" Option "SwapbuffersWait" "off" Option "EnablePageFlip" "off" ... This resolved issues with flickering, the mouse pointer vanishing and re-appearing depending on which window is below the pointer (enabling software mouse pointer for this was worse as garbage was rendered in a rect surrounding the pointer), and also *some* issues with logging in-out of an X session via xenodm. I still experience problems with the machine going to sleep and waking up, as sometimes, upon wake-up, the graphics go wonky, or don't update at all, or the mouse pointer goes wonky. Beyond the aforementioned, this set-up seems to allow me to use the machine as before, however, I am not an X11 expert nor a radeondrm driver expert; your mileage may very. If I ever try Andre's hint in the future (thank-you), I might report on success/failure. regards, Jeff

Disabling the compositor worked for me, but I noticed later that this is also documented in the package readme: Screen compositor = If you're using the modesetting X driver and experience window flickering when the compositor is enabled, you should force the window manager to use the XPresent method for vblank: $xfwm4 --vblank=xpresent --replace & This is documented upstream at https://git.xfce.org/xfce/xfwm4/tree/COMPOSITOR#n114 Haven't tested that yet and left the compositor disabled, but I guess this will fix your issues.

Something else which could be relevant is that xfce now ships its own screensaver. This screensaver shows the desktop background by default. I already tried disabling it in settings but the xfce4-screensaver process remains active even when the screensaver is disabled.

Display flickers after upgrade to 6.6
Today I switched my desktop PC, with Xfce, to OpenBSD amd64 6.6. Since the upgrade the display started to flickers. It seems to me that the desktop background flashes over the various windows. I vaguely remember that i read something about this problem in a message in these mailings a couple months ago, with someone suggesting a solution. I searched these mailing archives but I wasn't able to find that message. Someone can direct me to the suggested solution? Thanks. P.S. Here is the dmesg: OpenBSD 6.6 (GENERIC.MP) #372: Sat Oct 12 10:56:27 MDT 2019 dera...@amd64.openbsd.org:/usr/src/sys/arch/amd64/compile/GENERIC.MP real mem = 12848857088 (12253MB) avail mem = 12446736384 (11870MB) mpath0 at root scsibus0 at mpath0: 256 targets mainbus0 at root bios0 at mainbus0: SMBIOS rev. 2.4 @ 0xf0100 (59 entries) bios0: vendor Award Software International, Inc. version "F7" date 10/13/2011 bios0: Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd.
