Following up on my graphics card issues, I bought an MSI Geforce GTX 1660
card, deleted a couple of files which were the X AMD drivers (very difficult to
delete the packages; seemed to want to delete most of my X system), and loaded
the proprietary nvidia driver from the non-free repository. N
Hi Roland--
I do think that you know the most about the issues with this card...but
remember, when I run mpv to display 4K video at 60fps, *full screen* it works
perfectly, and does not drop a single frame. I assume we're bypassing the Xorg
software here. Under X, things just do not work as w
Hi Andreas, Tim, Didier,... @Tim: it's definitely not the radeon driver only, that causes the flickering - I tried the radeon and the amdgpu-drivers separately with the same problem appearing.B.t.w., I am working with the default kernel 4.19 in Devuan Beowulf. I guess, the W4100 as well as the WX41
Hi Andreas--
I do believe that it can be hardware-related, but only to the video card. I've
been running this computer, the same 4K monitor, and the same displayport cable
for three years without any problems, except limited graphics performance due
to the built-in Intel graphics! I've got a

Hi Andreas--
lspci shows this:01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices,
Inc. [AMD/ATI] Cape Verde GL [FirePro W4100]which shows the Cape Verde but not
the Southern Island. I think all Cape Verde are that, though.
The old radeon kernel module paired with the Xorg radeon driver

Dunno if graphics driver modules are now part of the
initrd/initramfs, but this look like crazy. The onl
My latest adventures in AMD drivers:
I tried the kernel 5.4.0 from the backports under beowulf. I forced the
backports version upgrade for firmware-amd-graphics; there was no backports
version of xserver-xorg-video-amdgpu. It worked, and seemed to perhaps flash a
little less than previously.
Ahmad, of course, I did.
Sincerely
Roland

1) Dont bin your video card, it is unlikely to help in the long run.
On my (cough! yes I know but I did have valid reasons) Fedora system, I have
been battling with Nvidia & Xorg drivers for years, they are certainly no
better than AMD support wise.
My system is currently broken, turns out the l

Hi Tim, Ludovic and Andreas.
I installed only the amdgpu-driver. Since I always start with a naked base
install, I never care about blacklisting any drivers, because I just don't
install them 😉
@Andreas I decided to install a dedicated AMD workstation graphics card, since
I only do workstatio

Hi temp,
The 5.4 kernel is also available through the backports if you're running
Beowulf.

The 5.4.14 kernel compiles and runs just fine on Beowul
Yes it was, and thanks for that data point. I'm more likely to try it on
beowulf, but sounds like there are no major low-level subsystem
incompatibilities.

Thanks so much for your helpful (and sobering) replies! If I had spent $50

Hi Ludovic,hi Tim, actually, I do have the same issues. I am running a Thinkstation P520Cwith a Radeon Firepro W4100 with a 4K Benq PD3200U. I literally spent weeks of searching information about this problem to get rid of the flickering,but without any success. I tried several distributions (Linu
Hello Tim,
First you need to know the chipset name of your card in order to know
it's family. To do that you need to run (or similar):
```
lspci | grep VGA
```
It's output on my desktop shows:
```

I have been happily running ascii but upgraded from my Intel built-in graphics
to an AMD FirePro W4100 because I do a lot of 4K video editing, but no
game-playing, and thought this 50W card would save energy and work well with
4K. There is a nearly identical Nvidia card, but I decided to suppor
