[Touch-packages] [Bug 1657875] Re: Google Chrome flickers badly on web pages
Brandon MacEachern: >"This issue was not a problem before 16.04, and so far since being on 16.10, >it's gone away again." That largely addresses my request from #5, and gives me additional, helpful information regarding a regression. Given the issue is addressed in 16.10, and folks who use 16.04 may utilize the 16.10+ kernel/xorg stack from https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/LTSEnablementStack, this is considered Fix Released as defined in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Status. Also, while I understand your passion towards this issue given your friend, they way you are expressing it comes across as abrasive, and not welcoming to folks who take an interest in the problem. ** Package changed: xorg (Ubuntu) => xserver-xorg-video-intel (Ubuntu) ** Changed in: xserver-xorg-video-intel (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => Fix Released -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to xorg in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1657875 Title: Google Chrome flickers badly on web pages Status in xserver-xorg-video-intel package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Bug description: Google chrome intermittently flickers (sometimes even Firefox I found, but very very rarely), and can cause a seizure in some people as it can flash between black and white 60 times a second.

[Touch-packages] [Bug 1657875] Re: Google Chrome flickers badly on web pages
Let me break it down for you, the BIOS is NOT out of date in regards to any of the Intel video BIOS portions. Version 2.27 has the same Intel video BIOS extension that 2.29 contains. It is foolish to update BIOS's just because you can, generally you do them because something is broken, but in this case, the broken portion is NOT because of the BIOS at all. If the devs over there at Canonical had a brain on their head, you could have easily determined this by grabbing any of your same CPU/GPU type laptops and ran 16.04 with Chrome. In fact, many people have already explained this countless times only to have had their time wasted. Fact is, Xorg people already now know about the bug, and know it is a fault with Xorg, but sadly, they have not fully found the issue as to why. So this bug report is a bust. My time was in fact wasted, and yes I will call out and accuse those who make people go through hoops that will not resolve it. You are the dev, correct? So once again, the portion of the BIOS that needs to be update, IS already up to date, none of the other fixes are related to this, and being Xorg already knows that a BIOS update won't resolve it, I refuse to update my BIOS for no reason other than your explained reason which IS the invalid step to pursue. This bug IS a personal matter because the flickering almost gave my epileptic friend a seizure, and you bet I won't have my time wasted. It took almost 10 days to get a response from you, it's taken MANY others months to get any response. This issue was not a problem before 16.04, and so far since being on 16.10, it's gone away again. It IS a 16.04 problem, and for an LTS release, you WILL fix the problem, either be it by backporting the Xorg drivers, or anything you need to do. I am done with this bug report, go fix it yourself. I already fixed it because my workaround IS valid. And for my one last remaining same laptop on 16.04, it has permanently fixed the issue, and works faster with higher framerates in GL games. PS: I am a long time Linux user, for 17 years in fact. This isn't my first go at getting things fixed, but I'll be damned if I sit here and have a dev who IS wasting my time, and not familiar with the Xorg bug reports on this same matter. Goodbye, I'm done here. I'll setup my own PPA to fix this issue. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to xorg in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1657875 Title: Google Chrome flickers badly on web pages Status in xorg package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Google chrome intermittently flickers (sometimes even Firefox I found, but very very rarely), and can cause a seizure in some people as it can flash between black and white 60 times a second.

[Touch-packages] [Bug 1657875] Re: Google Chrome flickers badly on web pages
Brandon MacEachern, to advise, if you would care to review the Lenovo website, your BIOS is clearly outdated. Also, a WORKAROUND is not a fix, and wouldn't be eligible to create a patch from. Despite this, to fix your issue in the default configuration (i.e. no WORKAROUNDs), it is most helpful to developers for you to test the latest version of Ubuntu (live environment would be helpful). If reproducible, then it can be upstreamed for review. If you can't, that's fine. Fixes come out as a matter of course in development. Unfortunately, the issue you are experiencing won't be fixed that much faster. Finally, accusing someone of wasting time, attacking them, and ordering them around doesn't really motivate anyone to want to help with your problem. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to xorg in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1657875 Title: Google Chrome flickers badly on web pages Status in xorg package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Google chrome intermittently flickers (sometimes even Firefox I found, but very very rarely), and can cause a seizure in some people as it can flash between black and white 60 times a second.

I am not trying out testing versions, I'm sorry, but you guys have wasted a lot of our time, you and the Xorg team. It's a joke really. You added the tag "bios-outdated" there's nothing outdated about my BIOS so I don't know where you think that's an appropriate tag. I'm sorry but testing zesty on a production computer is not an acceptable thing to do, if non of your devs have an i7 Haswell or higher with this issue, you simply aren't trying hard enough to find it. I already explained what the fix is, and if Zesty doesn't have it, I'm not wasting time. These machines for work are to stay on LTS, so it is your duty to fix it.

[Touch-packages] [Bug 1657875] Re: Google Chrome flickers badly on web pages
I can now officially confirm, that simply doing as you mentioned: sudo nano /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf Section "Device" Identifier "Intel Graphics" Driver "intel" Option "AccelMethod" "sna" Option "TearFree""true" Option "DRI""3" EndSection Has FIXED the issue entirely. I feel that this change should be made permanent in 16.04 LTS to fix any Intel issues regarding sandy-bridge GPU's or higher. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to xorg in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1657875 Title: Google Chrome flickers badly on web pages Status in xorg package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: In reference to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver- xorg-video-intel/+bug/1586539 Was asked by Christopher M.

[Touch-packages] [Bug 1657875] Re: Google Chrome flickers badly on web pages
I have been trying a few of the recommended changes, and so far, Force rasterization on all layers didn't work. It was less of an issue but not completely gone. I have now moved on to the one you mentioned, using sna and dri 3.0. I thought these were default options though? Either way I forced it, and so far so good for now. (And the pull down menu glitch as mentioned in the other bug report, seems to have disappeared also). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to xorg in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1657875 Title: Google Chrome flickers badly on web pages Status in xorg package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: In reference to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver- xorg-video-intel/+bug/1586539 Was asked by Christopher M.
