[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 1573959] Re: On-screen text disappears after suspend

2017-03-01 Thread Dave Long
I was affected by this issue in 16.04 with kernel 4.4 but it seems to have gone away since upgrading to 4.8; it's hard to tell because it is apparently impossible to reproduce on demand, and only happened maybe 1 in 10 times for me after resuming from suspend. @kyordhel: I am not sure that

Confirmed that the bug is fixed in the 4.10 kernel series. Further confirmed that this is down to the i915.enable_psr parameter: Linux 4.8 with no command line => flickering (enable_psr defaults to on) Linux 4.8 with i915.enable_psr=0 => no flickering Linux 4.10 with no command line => no

Sorry I should have explained better, I also have a Lenovo Edge E540 which is how I initially found this bug report via Google, but mine does not have the nvidia chipset, only Intel, so I didn't see how this could be caused by the nvidia driver. I will try to test the newer upstream kernel when I

Does adding "i915.enable_psr=0" to the kernel parameter line fix the issue? Possibly a duplicate of https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1663989 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-intel in Ubuntu.

Same issue, although I only have Intel graphics. Adding i915.enable_psr=0 to the kernel parameter line fixed the flickering for me. This is apparently solved upstream in kernel 4.9: https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/9507451/ -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of

In my case the root cause of this issue was corrupted firmware rather than problems with XRandR (X11-xserver-utils). The machine in question had been running lm sensors 3.3.2 which was discovered to potentially cause firmware corruption in Sept 2013. The issue was immediately resolved following

I'm using Intel integrated graphics instead of ATI/AMD, and I'm also on a 32-bit kernel instead of AMD64. I'm not sure if this points to separate driver issues, or an issue with X. I've also noticed that the issue seems to affect only the Thinkpad LCD (LVDS1), a monitor connected to VGA1 scales

Seeing identical behavior running Xubuntu 12.10 13.04 on an IBM Thinkpad T60. Scaling mode quit working when updating to kernel 3.5.0-27 on 12.10 and continues to not work on 13.04. Default resolution for this panel is 1024x768; switching to either 800x600 or 640x480 results in a window of that
