Most certainly not a problem with hdmi connection. I have had windows installed on the same machine without issues. The behavior is such that it is very clear that as soon as you move the mouse after a period of idle, the problem occurs. Also if the computer receives a notification after a period of idle it occurs.
There is a definite link to activity which renders new information on the screen buffer. It can play a movie without a problem on vlc but when I pause, it disconnects the screen (presumably because the "pause" bars appear on the screen). If I right click to add subtitles or change something else in the video it also appears at the exact same time I click. This problem is very repeatable. I can do a phone quality video if that would be of interest. If it was a problem with hdmi it would be more random in behavior and it would be a problem on windows as well. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1926032 Title: [i915] Screen "disconnects" when updating screen buffer To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1926032/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
