Public bug reported: I am trying flickerfree boot in 19.10 [1], but find it actually flickers part way through. The flicker occurs seemingly during kernel startup since my peripherals are lit up before the problem occurs.
Suspecting this might be related to FB handover: [ 2.751028] fb0: switching to inteldrmfb from EFI VGA I tried disabling that with a big hammer: i915.modeset=0 so it stays in efifb, and that works -- no more flickering, providing I don't let i915 take over the framebuffer.
