** Description changed: Dear Launchpad Community, I have problem with my display on all version of Ubuntu system. It doesn't matter what version I will install. I checked this on Ubuntu 18.04.5, Ubuntu 20.04, Ubuntu 20.04.1, Lubuntu 18.04.5. My screen is flashing for one second when I boot my system or if I will turn off and next turn on my display. My screen is flashing (white image) for one second. What is a problem? I think that this can be driver problem or with kernel itself. I have this same problem on other computer. On both computers I have Radeon graphic card. Some outputs from terminal: + First computer: + lshw -C video *-display description: VGA compatible controller product: RS880M [Mobility Radeon HD 4225/4250] vendor: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] configuration: driver=radeon latency=0 + + Second computer: + + lshw -C video + + *-display + description: VGA compatible controller + product: RV516/M64-S [Mobility Radeon X2300] + vendor: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.

I don't have this issue on Windows family system. Normally when I will boot my system or my display was turn off and next turn on I shouldn't notice flickering of my display but it is happen. This can be problem with radeon driver or linux kernel itself. I maked some videos from two machines with other operating systems. 1) Old notebook with Lubuntu 18.04: - booting (0:24 issue is shown): https://youtu.be/5ZfDxHV4A2s - turn off/turn on display (this same issue): https://youtu.be/Dn8WG-O2r10 2) Other machine with Ubuntu 18.04 this have also old Ati Radeon card: - booting (0:14 issue is shown): https://youtu.be/oZ2dCiHHB2Y - turn off/turn on display (this same issue): https://youtu.be/8s0sBYdnKzw You can see that both machines is affected by this same issue but in first machine this issue is most visible. I hope that this help and you can now fix this issue or report it. I think that this issue is for radeon driver but you maybe have more knowledge about it. I hope that you can help. If it is needed more information then you can ask me. - - I founded on askubuntu some solution. I can add to the GRUB nomodeset option and this help me for the one of the machines. Flickers is gone but system works slower and with lower resolution. On my machine with RS880M this option is not possible because this cause problems with my hardware and I can see artefacts so I will not try use this nomodeset option anymore. + I founded on askubuntu some solution.

I found Bug #1838644 and I have this same problem like more users in the past. I am on 5.4.0-73-generic kernel like you can see above. Normally when I will boot my system or logout from the session I shouldn't notice flickering of my display but it is happen.
