[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1522922] Re: Screen flickering in Intel i915 driver
*** This bug is a duplicate of bug 1554613 *** https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1554613 As comment #117 suggests, disabling tlp fixes it for my Broadwell Celeron laptop. However, another way to fix it (at least for some of us) is to set ALPM to a higher power state, which means you can keep tlp enabled. In the tlp config file /etc/default/tlp, set the line SATA_LINKPWR_ON_BAT=min_power to SATA_LINKPWR_ON_BAT=medium_power or to SATA_LINKPWR_ON_BAT=max_performance. If not running tlp, add the same line to /etc/pm/config.d/sata_alpm (and probably also for SATA_LINKPWR_ON_AC). The problem with this solution is that on chips where the southbridge and cpu are packaged together (Broadwell, Haswell, etc.), the package won't go into lower power states, so battery suffers. For instance, I can't get it into anything lower than C2, as powertop indicates. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-intel in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1522922 Title: Screen flickering in Intel i915 driver Status in Nouveau Xorg driver: Incomplete Status in xserver-xorg-video-intel package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: There's an upstream bug reported here https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=91393 that causes screen flickering when using the Intel i915 builtin driver (at resolutions lower than the maximal one).

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1522922] Re: Screen flickering in Intel i915 driver
I found something interesting that may or may not be valuable. From what I can gather so far, we're dealing with two flicker issues. One affects only Ubuntu MATE, the other affects regular Ubuntu as well. For me, I've been able to work around the problem in Ubuntu MATE by disabling tlp.service and rebooting. After I do this, I no longer deal with any flickering at all whatsoever. This work around won't work for everyone, but if you are hitting the bug in Ubuntu MATE (since Ubuntu MATE features tlp.service by default) this may work for you. Even though disabling tlp.service fixes it for me, this is still a kernel bug, because I can also fix this issue by side-loading an unsupported kernel without disabling tlp.service and that fixes it too. For whatever reason, tlp.service is triggering something in the kernel causing a flicker. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-intel in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1522922 Title: Screen flickering in Intel i915 driver Status in Nouveau Xorg driver: Incomplete Status in xserver-xorg-video-intel package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: There's an upstream bug reported here https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=91393 that causes screen flickering when using the Intel i915 builtin driver (at resolutions lower than the maximal one).

Both Alphas were fine and other DEs with the same nightlies were fine. However, that bug was marked as a duplicate of this one, though I'm not yet convinced.

In http://www.lorenzobettini.it/2015/12/flickering-for-intel-graphic- card-in-linux-4-2/ I described the steps to revert the two commits that seem to have introduced the flickering. This requires downloading the kernel sources, revert the two commits, compile the kernel and install the locally built packages. This bug is particularly annoying, and each time a new upgrade on the kernel is released the above procedure has to be performed again. Not to mention that this bug makes the system unusable (if the above procedure is not performed). I think that the "importance" should be brought back to "Critical" (assuming that "Critical" is higher than "High"). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-intel in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1522922 Title: Screen flickering in Intel i915 driver Status in Nouveau Xorg driver: Incomplete Status in xserver-xorg-video-intel package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: There's an upstream bug reported here https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=91393 that causes screen flickering when using the Intel i915 builtin driver (at resolutions lower than the maximal one).
