I am filing this bug again in accordance with: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/1875073/comments/3 I've deleted the repository and checked again, and the bug still persists. Old bug report: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/1875073 My screen flickers on Kubuntu 20.04LTS. See: https://imgur.com/a/FoWI1sp Also affected: Kubuntu 19.10 Fedora 31 System: inxi -Gxxx Graphics: Device-1: Intel Iris Plus Graphics G7 vendor: Lenovo driver: i915 v: kernel bus ID: 00:02.0 chip ID: 8086:8a52 Display: x11 server: X.Org 1.20.8 driver: modesetting compositor: kwin_x11 resolution: 1920x1080~60Hz OpenGL: renderer: Mesa Intel Iris Plus Graphics (ICL GT2) v: 4.6 Mesa 20.0.4 direct render: Yes Reproduction scenario's: 1) Starting Kubuntu, screen flickers a couple of times during startup and turns black for multiple seconds. 2) Start a youtube video, near-constant flickering. Audio works fine. 3) Open up various applications. Screen starts flickering every now and then. 4) Leave pc unattended for a long time, screen starts flickering sporadically. Things I tried: * Use various kernels * linux kernel 3.4, 3.5, 3.6, 3.7rc2 * Ubuntu port of linux kernel 3.4.0-26-generic + patch https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/jkrzyszt/i915/-/commit/1ee48a61aa57dbdbc3cd2808d8b28df40d938e44 * intel-drm-next (kernel panic) * Oibaf PPA * various kernel parameters What does work: * When using windows, the screen works. So no hardware error. * When using "nomodeset" kernel parameter Kubuntu 20.04 works, but then there's no sound or hardware acceleration. What I think is happening: i915 is apperantly an unstable driver for eDP 1.4 screens. That, in combination with a 10'th gen intel cpu is not a good combination. According to dmesg the firmware of sof-audio-pci is restarting. [ 324.775087] sof-audio-pci 0000:00:1f.3: error: no reply expected, received 0x0 [ 324.866267] sof-audio-pci 0000:00:1f.3: firmware boot complete Could the audio part of the eDP connection be breaking because of an issue similar to the patch that is mentioned earlyer?
