Public bug reported:
I frequently get screen corruption or delayed screen updates using
onboard Intel video (i7-10710U in a Dell XPS 13 7390). I am attaching a
screen shot of an example of this in Emacs, where you can see echoes of
past cursor locations (center right side of screen, the highlighted word
"boolean").
A frequent failure is that an application updates its window, but the
updates do not appear on screen until I take some action to disturb the
window (move or resize it, change focus, change desktops, etc.), after
which it cleans itself up. Small changes (such as selecting text) will
often clean up the image where the change is made without repainting the
entire window.
My display panel is 4K UHD+, and I have attached two external Full HD
DisplayPort monitors using chaining with 2x2 scale using XrandR. This
corruption appears to happen on all three surfaces. The configuration
for my desktop is:
HIX=3840
HIY=2160
HI=${HIX}x${HIY}
xrandr --fb $(($HIX * 3))x$HIY \
--output eDP-1 --auto --panning ${HI}+$(($HIX * 2))+0 \
--output DP-2-8 --auto --panning ${HI}+$HIX+0 \
--scale-from $HI --left-of eDP-1 --scale 2x2 \
--output DP-2-1 --auto --panning $HI+0+0 \
--scale-from $HI --left-of DP-2-8 --scale 2x2
