Hi,
I ran into the same issue this morning. Disabling the compositor worked
for me, but I noticed later that this is also documented in the package
readme:
Screen compositor
=================
If you're using the modesetting X driver and experience window
flickering when
the compositor is enabled, you should force the window manager to use the
XPresent method for vblank:
$xfwm4 --vblank=xpresent --replace &
I tried that command but it screwed all my windows (no more window
decorations and buttons, I cannot operate on windows)!
Now I had to came back to KDE...
:-(
Solved!
The problem was I executed that command as root.
Sorry for the inconvenience.
Regards
This is documented upstream at
https://git.xfce.org/xfce/xfwm4/tree/COMPOSITOR#n114
Haven't tested that yet and left the compositor disabled, but I guess
this will fix your issues. If it does, that's probably a good reminder
to first look in the readme next time (me included). ;)
Regards,
André
