Public bug reported: Hi. I've recently just received this laptop (it's the 8th gen i7 blade stealth) and it's plagued with screen flickering. I've tried installing the latest kernel with the proper i915 firmware. I've also tried Arch Linux, and had no luck there. So, I've settled back with Ubuntu and installed the 18.04 Bionic Beaver Daily ISO.
Description: Ubuntu Bionic Beaver (development branch) Release: 18.04 Kernel: 4.15.0-997-generic I'm not really sure what would be causing the issue. I'll happily use this as a test-bed to help improve Ubuntu! Thanks for your time. ** Affects: xorg (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to xorg in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1739936 Title: Screen flickering on Razer Blade Stealth (Late 2017) Status in xorg package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Hi.
