Agreed, however...

... the display driver is actually the kernel driver with KMS, so this
report should be reassigned to the kernel package.

FWIW, IME it's quite unlikely that this kind of issue could result in
hardware damage.

Does the problem also occur on an Intel GPU using the Xorg modesetting
driver instead of the intel driver?

Dear OP,

Are you using AGP ? AGP mode is known to be buggy on PPC:

https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=95017

Could you try agpmode=-1 and update this bug report.

Bug#822225: xserver-xorg-video-radeon: White glow and flicker on edges of LVDS display on boot

2016-04-27 Thread thomas
Package: xserver-xorg-video-radeon
Version: 1:7.7.0-1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

   * What led up to the situation?
   I installed the open radeon driver package instead of the closed one

   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
 ineffective)?
   Boot the system

   * What was the outcome of this action?
   Increasing white glow on the edges of the built in display, a freeze,
   some flicker and finally the normal boot process continues

   * What outcome did you expect instead?
   A normal boot process without the glitches

I am not sure if this is the fault of the display driver, but since it
looks like a display (or maybe backlight?) glitch, I though it was best
to report this under the video driver package. I am worried that it
might damage something hardware related, because it really doesn't look
healthy to me. I can upload a video of the problem if desired, because i
could not find anything in any logs.

2016-04-27 Thread J Mo


How I am I supposed to use EXA mode to disable glamor?

I just spent the last hour trying to do this unsuccessfully. Xorg 
-configure always fails with "Number of created screens does not match 
the number of detected devices", which seems to be a known issue. 
Manually creating the file causes Xorg to fail. All other attempts at 
modifying the config results in Xorg failing to start.

So, can you check whether the Xorg modesetting driver is used with that,
and whether it enables glamor acceleration? And if either is not true,
can you try forcing it in xorg.conf and see if you can reproduce the
problem then?

That's not what I meant. I'm interested in whether the problem occurs
with the nVidia GPU as well using the modesetting driver and glamor.

All you should need in /etc/X11/xorg.conf is something like:

Section "Device"
Identifier "Device0"
Driver "modesetting"
EndSection


However, it occurred to me that glamor might not work on a GTX 970
unless you're using very recent upstream snapshots of Mesa and the kernel.
