Don, it seems you are correct. The video display of the effect of bug 89813/85583 in the i915 kernel display module is exactly what I see here. As of 25 June there was a patch that at will be in "drm-intel-next-fixes (for v4.2 and cc: stable), and the refactored version on drm-intel-next-queued (for v4.3)". The testing for the patch seems to have been done with kernel 3.16.0-4, and my current kernel is 4.0.0-2-amd64. By 6 July it seems a fix to the i915 module was accepted that addressed my problem: http://osdir.com/ml/general/2015-07/msg07335.html, Subject: Accepted linux 4.0.7-1 (all source) into unstable - msg#07335. At kernel.org, there's available a stable kernel 4.1.2 dated 10 July. Although I've never ventured to compile a kernel, I suspect I could download the tarball and try to compile it. Or am I on the wrong track? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
